The Story of the Caterpillar

It not really a story.  I just couldn't think of anything to say.



The caterpillar is super fast.  He is as fast as an ant.  Me and Sissy named him "Harry."  We made him a little home.  It was actually a hotel for all bugs.  While we were outside making the hotel, a spider came in and spent the night.  It seriously did.
The caterpillar tickled and he felt prickly.  Me and Sissy took him down to the hotel and then he started crawling and looking for food.  We made the hotel in a ditch in our front yard, so that a tornado wouldn't tear it up.  I made the hotel out of bark, grass, leaves, and flowers.  The caterpillar ate a little bit of the leaf.

Blue harrons



We started a bird count.  You have to count the birds and how many you see and it is super fun.  The scientists sent us this video.  You can watch it.  Poppy and Pop will love the herons.   If you look very, very closely when the Mama Heron is around the babies, she'll cough up some food.  It's called regurgitate, but I call it cough it up.

 Me and Grandma and Carnie were in the computer room playing a video game.  Then Mama came in and said, "Pop wants to show you something."  Me and Sissy and Grandma came out and Pop had a hummingbird in his hand.  It was a young hummingbird that me and Sissy and Grandma petted on the head and neck.  Pop handed the hummingbird to Carnie and Carnie held it in her hand and Carnie opened her whole hand up and the hummingbird stayed there.  I petted the hummingbird on the wings and it shot off like an arrow.  We were getting ready to leave because we were late to go to Lake Glendale to play with our friends.  Then I said, "I want to hold a hummingbird like Carnie did."  And Grandma Rita said, "Look!  A hummingbird in the barn."  I said, "Mama, can we please stay to see it while Pop catches it?"  And Mama said yes.  Pop caught it and when he put the net down, his beak was stuck in it and his little foot.  He gently took his little foot out and his little beak and gave it to me.  It was an adult and it was more scared and it took off faster than the younger one.  The hummingbird felt greasy and slick and it was super soft.

I found this spider on mama's bush.  I wish I knew what kind of spider he was.  He's so cool.  He stayed in the middle ever since we found him and he made a cool zigzag design in the middle of it.  And he's still there.

We took a picture of this goldfinch in our backyard.  If you look closely, you can see her.  Earlier she was eating seeds.  She just flew off after we took the picture.  We think she blends in with the sunflowers because she looks like it.

Daddy found a snake on the path.  He touched it and it turned back and got bigger and he looks like he kind of has a triangle head.  But he's just a baby so you can't tell yet.

We found these baby birds in a nest.  There are four of them.  They are baby Robins. 
"It's an evil monster!" We're going down to our grandparents' house to spend the night.  I'm being silly in the car.

This is the moth we found on our front door. Her antennas are like feathers. She has six legs and her green is her camouflage cause it blends in with the leaves.

This is what I like about it--how he takes care of these martins and saves them cause every year there's less martins.

Caterpillar


This is my pet caterpillar and the day I found him he turned into a cocoon.  It was eight days ago.  
He gets super excited when I feed him.  One time Carnie tried to feed my fish and he hid in one of his little homes.

She was trying to make her face look pitiful.

She was trying to hide from the phone.

 This is our house we built. 


This is the other half of it.

i found a caterpillar on my foot  on the way to the bath room. i am going to keep him for my pet.


We found some caterpillars on our crabapple tree.  It's this super big sac with a whole bunch of big eggs and caterpillars.  They eat a whole bunch of leaves and if there's enough of those sacs, they can kill the tree.  Then they turn into moths once they've ate enough leaves.

Pop






One day, Ruby brought up a turtle and dropped it in front of Mama.  We brought him inside of our playhouse and he wouldn't come out for a long time.  Then he started to slowly come out of his shell.  Then he started walking over to a corner and hid.  Then we released him to our woods.  There's a pattern on his shell that looks like an airplane.
