Time in the studio was not on the agenda.
Homemade lasagna was the meal request, and I was happy to oblige.
A trip for two to SweetScoops for ice cream cones after dinner.
The day was a treat for both of us.

When you keep your eyes open, you never know what you'll see.
What appeared to be a piece of bark near the pool, revealed a
caterpillar struggling to emerge from, without a doubt, the most
interesting cocoon I've ever seen. Sadly, when I went back to see
how it was progressing in its efforts to escape, I found that the
struggle had been too great, ending in its demise.
(Just so you know what you're looking at in the photo:
The actual caterpillar is the first three "segments" at the top
of the cocoon. It was white, with black markings and a little
brown on it. If you look closely, you can even see a tiny leg on
the left side of each segment. It was sooo close to freedom!)
I was so curious to know what this caterpillar would become.
Now, I'll never know.

ReplyDeleteGlad you had a fun day with Steve. That lasagna looks wonderful! Poor little catapiller. I've never seen anything like that.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun day today. I got lots to catch up on. Been touring studios all weekend. ;)

When I saw the photo of the cocoon, I thought what is that! Thanks for sharing something I have never seen before, but isn't it beautiful (like a little hut). Maybe one of Michele Palmer's creatures could live there.

OMG Donna when I saw that picture I thought Jeezzz I have taken too many of my pills....because I am use to seeing nothing but pretty dainty stuff on your site. lol
ReplyDeleteGlad you explained it to me or I would of thrown my pills out the window.

Oh, how sad for the caterpillar. :( But on a happier note, I am glad you enjoyed the day with your handsome. That lasagne looks so yummy! Theresa
ReplyDeleteSounds like just the most wonderful day - lasagna and ice cream and a day with Handsome - what could be better.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of the caterpiller is so interesting. It's too bad that it didn't make it.
