The caterpillar is entirely my own invention. Yessir, I showed it off, too. Aaron took it home.

Today is Nature Notes and I am missing it for the first time. I know exactly what I wanted to discuss, but I have been swamped at work, trying to stay active, going to choir and sleeping (whining) so I am totally unprepared. I was even considering a haiku on my chosen topic, but my haiku skills are pretty weak. Let's practice:
Squirrels nest high
Dark dots in the blackened sky
Um yea. I'm stumped. Earlier today I had a 5-syllable line there but it's gone. I really like how the bare trees expose all those nests.
And lastly, in the midst of this whirlwind of living, my Uncle Gene died this afternoon. I can't say I will miss him, for many reasons we won't discuss (I only saw him once in the past 17 years). But I care about my cousins and losing a parent just plain sucks no matter what.

There's nothing wrong with the turtle that a little inflation wouldn't fix. Perhaps it should swing by the Shell station.
I liked the turtle. Anytime we stayed with my grandma when I was younger she would have us make things like that. That was a lot more fun than television.
My wife lost a great-aunt this week. She was still sad even though she hadn't seen her in over 15 years. She was more sad for the rest of her family.
Losing anyone just sucks. I'm sorry.
What also sucks is trying to write Haiku's. I'm terrible with those.
you guys make me laugh!
