i found these wormy things eating my parsley and cilantro.
rather than beat them up, or hire a hit man i put them in my handy dandy butterfly tree house. i trimmed the leaves and put them in the butterfly house, and got all the wormy buggers inside. my sister thinks i should have just killed them (don’t forget she’s a whore), but i love that kind of stuff and i want to see what they change into.
speaking of butterflies, i’m going to be volunteering at this place for their upcoming BUTTERFLY EXHIBIT! can i tell you how excited i am about that? REALLY EXCITED! the only down side to butterflies is they die so quickly, it doesn’t seem fair.

OH! if anyone remembers my three part story about my trip to savannah to see my beloved boohag, i wanted to notify you that *somehow*, *someway* our hearse tour driver found my blog post and left a comment. you must read her comment to fully understand that she is bat-shit-crazy and if you are in savannah YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO ASK FOR HER BY NAME!
she said i was scared but i assure you i was not scared, boohag was scared and didn’t want her fellow nurses to see her in her granny panties if something awful had happened to us. jackie, i don’t care who’s in the hearse, as long as your driving it. boohag and i LOVED that guy, and do you know if he took my suggestion for show me your boobies instead of show me your titties? boobies just sounds so much better. thanks so much for leaving a comment, that was such an awesome night that boohag and i will never forget! jackie, i suspect there would be no savannah if there were no you!
this is the link for those photo sets.
(i don’t expect you to read these unless you really want to, i wanted to put a connection on the reason i’m excited that jackie left that comment.)

lastly, we had a picnic dinner last night at the lake that surrounds our area. we rarely go to the lake b/c it’s smelly. after last night, hubs and i were wondering why we haven’t done it before b/c we have a lake very close and it’s pretty. mostly we didn’t think of it b/c we’re not exactly skilled on how to have fun or how to take vacations.
it was a fun time and luke had a blast.
this is my favorite photo from last night, my husband even liked it and he doesn’t like anything i do.

as we were packing up to leave, there was another mom there with two kids. one of the two kids didn’t want to get out of the water, and i heard her say “hurry up honey, there’s a snake”. i thought, that was a good tactic to get her out of the water.
then i looked at luke and there WAS a snake in the water.

it was a little snake and swimming as fast as it could to get to the rocks. i was able to get a photo of it. these are things that excite me. (i know i don’t get out much.) another person walked over and said that the snakes usually come out about that time every night. i cannot even believe that i can go back at the same time and get more snake action. it’s crazy, these animals in the wild. crazy i say.
this was the first time our puppy sampson had been near water like this, he’s a natural swimmer. sunday, our female was all girlie about it which is cool but she’s not big on the swimming.
here’s the set i uploaded on flickr in case you’re interested.
i’m done now.
bye.
oh, one more thing. i went to a pet store yesterday and almost left with two dogs, one main coon cat, and a red tail boa constrictor. luckily, i was able to control myself. the dogs were no longer wanted by their owner, the cat was dropped off, and the snake was a planned pet store sale. (i’ve had a strong desire recently to get a boa constrictor, i used to work with them in my pet store days and they have a great temperment.)

We’re not sure which part of this post to comment on, there’s so much! Those wormy things are cool looking, can’t wait to find out what kind of butterfly/moth they turn into.
That picture of the boy and dog is GORGEOUS! Just beautiful lighting. And cute little snake. That would get us out of the water fast!

Yer busy!
Funny about the hearse driver, I was just thinking about your trip the other day when I heard “On the Radio” (the song I sent you that reminded me of your excursion.)
Awesome about the snake.
Cool pic of Luke.
You’re so kind to the Earth

The link to the hearse lady post is broken, or rather, it takes me to a page that says I am not allowed to alter your writing. I told it I wouldn’t want to do that because your quirkiness cannot be matched by the likes of moi.
I am snake phobic. Trailboss was bitten by a copperhead when she was five at our house on KY Lake. Then years later I found out the island at the entrance to our cove has a graveyard on it. We never set foot on that island, unfortunately. I am sure there were pirates buried there.

We got some kind of plant or whatever thats suppose to grow into flowers that attracts butterflies but no matter how much we watered or didn’t water it, the thing never really grew. It was a total waste of money. Oh well…

one wink: you are in tune with the world, which is why you were thinking about it prolly
scott: you cracked me up, like i said in that email you should be able to alter it and fiss my grammars.
i really want to know more about this pirate grave if you have anything. or tell me where it is so i can drive there and dig it up at least
andrea: my favoritist spooky writer! i wonder if it had something to do with your climate, or the soil? usually these purple plants grow pretty easily but i usually hate when people tell me that especially if i’ve managed to kill the easiest growing plant in the world

They look like Swallowtail Butterfly caterpillars to me. It’s nice that you didn’t kill them. Recalling that pretty much drained my brain, so I have no other comments on the rest of this stuff. Good night

It’s on Kentucky Lake two or three coves south of Moors Camp. I haven’t been able to find a map that shows it. I was gonna send that to you along with an eye patch. Arrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!
September 7, 2008 at 3:55 pm |
xup: YOU ARE RIGHT! i looked them up last night and got very excited that i can watch them turn. thanks for leaving your knowledge here, it’s much appreciated
scott: i would totally love that you know
