Fast as lightning...
Do you read Entertainment Weekly? Do you read Perez Hilton's gossip website? EW recently interviewed PH and were taking questions from readers to ask him...MY QUESTION is the first one listed! Sweet...
Its a dark and stormy day here, something we are happy to see...its only 72 out - crazy! And while we don't have any thunder or lightning right now, I thought I'd post some groovy pics of it, cause its always cool to see what nature can do...
speaking of, my giant orb weaver on the porch has set a massive egg sac on the overhang of the house...I saw her fanning it cool the other day...she had grown gigantic, and now she's about half her size...I have before/after pics...I can't wait to see these babies hatch and go everywhere...I shoulda been a wildlife photographer...ha...I told Brian the roof of our house will be enveloped by orb weavers...
In all honesty, most of them wont survive...they will be eaten by birds and other bugs, and they'll even eat one another...law of the jungle and all that...I'm just tickled to see nature so close up...I found an orange dog on our lime tree yesterday...it was tiny just a few days ago and now its like 1.5 inches long...it'll change into a giant yellow swallowtail...I'm just pleased to see ONE - we bought our 3 fruit trees specifically for those butterflies, but they haven't been laying eggs much this year...they have a tree in the woods where we see them come and go...maybe this guy will survive and be groovy...I'm actually surprised how many cocoons don't survive...we've had loads of monarchs that haven't hatched...moisture I think...all the rains this year...
time to feed the porch kitties...
