Good Advice I Found on Facebook today...


John Wesley wrote in his journal Oct. 6, 1774:
I met those of our society who had votes in the ensuing election, and advised them, 1. To vote, without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy: 2. To speak no evil of the person they voted against: And, 3. To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side.

Some stuff we've spotted in the yard lately

leaving


staying

look hard


The VERY HUNGRY caterpillar (or, "no glasses needed")

note the stubs of leaves all around it.

Note the cute bottoms of it's feet, and also how horrifying it is to see this held in kitchen tongs. Looks ready for grilling, yes?  

For the record, the VERY HUNGRY caterpillar was humanely released onto some of our vines, that need pruning, unlike Danjo's favorite tree. The humane releasing happened because Young Adventurer was just sure it was going to stop devouring our tree, latch onto a branch with it's mouth, curl itself into a "J" shape, and form a chrysalis at any moment, and he thought it should be allowed to complete it's lifecycle. Young Adventurer is going to have an organic garden someday, which will not be visited by a certain grandmother--because the caterpillar will one day emerge from the aforementioned chrysalis as a large moth.

And finally:
the shady side of a sunflower
