this is my neice, brenna...aidan's big sister...in this picture, she is watching a monarch caterpillar spin it's chrysalis...also, on the lid is a chrysalis that has been spun....
every summer, this is one of my projects -- the monarchs...(as you probably have already figured by now...) ....
this picture was taken last summer when they came down for a visit, after i had spent a month up there....
there are only a handful of chrysalises left on around the house...two inside that have yet to hatch and two or three outside....
i am greatly saddened by this, becuase i know that it signifies a change in seasons...plus, when i'm working with the caterpillars and then the chrysalises, i feel a very strong connection to my dad, whom i love dearly and miss terribly, even more now that i am an adult...
....
today i started reading a book called "wasted" for my addictions class...it's written by a woman who developed eating disorders at nine years of age....so far, it's an interesting read....i like it much better and find it much easier to read than "chemical dependency a family affair" was...
.....
also today when i woke up and came out to check my email i caught a whiff of the unmistakable smell of dead mouse...apparently one of the traps we had set in the celing (we have suspended celings in parts of the house...) had caught a mouse and we didn't notice it right away....i had to take care of that this morning...it was rather unpleasant....
thank God for lysol disinfecting spray!!....
.....
later this evening i'll be going to home fellowship group, or to put it a bit simpler, bible study....i'm looking forward to that...i really enjoy the people in my group, and i love the small group leaders, tom & sydney...so, that'll be a nice thing to do...
....
have a super day, everyone...
