Jericho,

What you are attempting is a fools errand. You are too much of one thing to remain, too little of the other to survive where you must go. If you attempt to stay the Hunters will seek you out and see you dead. If you go willingly it is with acceptance of your fate; When your father left his world for ours. his "people" felt dishonored, disgraced... betrayed. And they are not wrong. God speed.

what a bug!

So I was wandering around the house and I looked outside. This is what I saw:

What kind of crazy bug is this? It was almost as big as my thumb!

My ugly garden

has hidden treasures...

I love it!

I like to try and take pictures of lightning even though I don't have the proper camera. I set it to take multiple shots and go back and see what I've got. Even though there was MORE than enough lightning, this is what I got:

HUGE bolt! The thunder was so loud you could feel it in your chest!

Comfortable?

I'll never understand an animals concept of comfy.

Vacation and things

So we went on our vacation. It was really fun while it lasted. I ended up getting hurt and we had to leave early.

I know it's almost September, but I am already thinking about Christmas! This year when we decorate our tree I thought it would be fun to send out these little wooden decorations to the family, and have them decorate them and send them back. So when you get them, the small snowflakes are for the nieces and nephews and the bigs ones are for the brothers/sisters. The different ones are for grandmas and grandpas. Decorate them any way you wish and send them back We'll send tags that attach to the string so we know who's is who! I'm so excited to have a family tree.

Zach @ Work

This week I was horrified to hear a customer offer to "squash that thing" for me. What was he talking about? A praying mantis nymph riding my shoulder. He was there for over an hour before I finally made him get off into a tree. It was hilarious! It took him a while to get used to me, but once he did he still did not like other people.

When other people would approach me he would rear up and start waving his claws at them menacingly. When, at last, I decided Amber would probably not appreciate such a creepy and crawly pet I took it to a tree. Once there he tried to hide in my shirt. When I tried to force him on to the branch he waited until I backed off enough that he could fall and fly on to me again. He finally gave up, though, and went where he belonged.
