I’m a bit behind, so these images are from a week ago on Sunday, not this past Sunday.  We were a bit pressed for time because we had been watching some preschoolers for friends, and then there was a homework frenzy, but it was a beautiful evening, and I didn’t…

I’ve always loved bugs, and for a while when I was in the early stages of middle school I thought being an entomologist would be rather interesting.  There are just so MANY different kinds of bugs.  The other day I was teaching a piano lesson to a middle school boy,…
