Mrs. McPuppet
Fall Welcome!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Welcome to Fall
I heard a large flock of
robins in the woods, eating
berries, chattering, and
beginning to gather for
their trip south, what fun
that must be. Change is in
the air! The plump striped
monarch caterpillars are
munching away on the swamp
milkweed up at the pond,
looking ever so lovely.
Could not resist bringing
one inside, safely housed in
a large glass jar so we can
watch the magic. It was
sleeping during our supper ,
resting up for the
metamorphosis. Yes, it's
coming, I hope you are
enjoying the early signs of
fall!
