O.K. Today had to be one of the most boring days in a while. It was so beautiful outside it just made you want to climb into a hammock and take a nap. If only I had a hammock. Instead I spent most of the day chasing around Skylar and Dylan back and forth between our trampoline and swingset to the neighbors trampoline and swingset. Also collecting those furry caterpillars have kept us going, Skylar now has two in a mason jar that have now spun their cocoons so we are waiting for the big day. I think they say a couple of weeks before they come out of the cocoon so we wont know for a while if they survived Skylar and Dylan's pet caterpillar training. I will keep you updated on our progress as we find out more. I am pretty sure these are Eastern Tent Caterpillars if anyone is interested and they are very abundant here so don't think we are destroying the eco-system, we might even actually be saving some trees.
Speaking of trees we found an evergreen growing out back where we used to have pine trees so I am going to try and transplant it out front so it wont be disturbed while we renovate our backyard. Hopefully that will go smoothly. We are also going to be trying to install gutters on the front of our house, since none of the houses out here came with them, and I am also trying to plant a flower garden out front but that will have to wait until we figure out the guttering system. I will try and take some pictures so you can see the before and after.
