An Interesting Day in Our Yard

It was so interesting that I set up my office in the garage so I wouldn’t miss anything ~ and a daughter-in-law, three grandsons, and a brother came to watch.

(I’ll tell you about it tomorrow.  It’s too late tonight.)

Evening

I kept my eye on this sunset during our half-hour drive to meet friends for supper.  I was pleased to get this great picture – especially as it was taken while Cerwin was driving 55 mph!

Friends

We had a great evening with Earl and Arlene.  Since we were honoring his 70th Birthday, the conversation eventually turned to discussing when we first met.  We decided it was more than thirty years ago. 

Luna Moth

Afterward we went to their house to see the Luna Moth cocoon.

Several weeks ago Earl found a Luna caterpillar in their yard, and brought it inside for Arlene.  It soon made a cocoon in the corner of their aquarium and is now about ready to emerge.

This is what a Luna caterpillar looks like.

I am a bit “jealous” that they are going to get to watch this beautiful moth emerge in the next day or so.  I am anxious to hear their story.
