We returned from Rochester with one monarch egg that hatched into a hungry caterpillar. After he ate through one green leaf we searched for more milkweed and found 5 more eggs. With caterpillar-sitting help from our neighbors, all six were successfully hatched and released.
The chrysalises turn black when the butterflies are ready to emerge
Not quite ready for the wide open world
Two of them hatched at Tessie's preschool
At age 10 1/2, as promised Caroline got her ears pierced
Mount Monadnock in September, much better than November
There were tadpoles in the pools at the summit
and Eastern red-spotted newts on the trail
Erin's friend Ophelia was a trooper
and Caroline brought her friend Anna to the Portsmouth Fairy House festival
Spun-sugar sister
That's blush on Tessie's face
Not really kittens anymore
Yes, Tundra does get pushed around in a stroller
and other nights he's a pillow for Erin
Tessie's sleeping buddy is Tai-Tai
Our biggest pumpkin yet, 22 lbs!
but that's only 1% of the 2000 lb prizewinner at the Topsfield Fair
Grandpa's anniversary present was a trip to see a Steelers game, and we decided that October in Baltimore was preferable to December in Pittsburgh.
There was much anticipation for the players' knee locations during the national anthem. The Steelers stood while the Ravens did a small knee touch that earned a round of boos from the crowd
real-time disappearance of the caterpillar
most nights Tessie has a furry companion
Not sure if it's Hamilton or something made up
and it was good
Heading down Mt. Monadnock
What's the only major US sports team named for a literary character?
The chrysalises turn black when the butterflies are ready to emerge
Not quite ready for the wide open world
Two of them hatched at Tessie's preschool
