    Anybody want to bet someone who likes snakes found eight caterpillars in broccoli once? (Hint: his first name was “Dam.”)

    Most birds sleep face down, or at least with their legs beneath them.

    Those baby and adolescent owls were rewarded with Tootsie Pops for going to sleep on time.

    im pretty sure why the owls do that is because their head is heavy?

    Exodus 20:4 of the King James Version of the Bible: “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.”. The bigger the false god the bigger the graven image, eh?

    Sam Darlaston finds seven caterpillars on his broccoli, tenderly pulls them off and saves them, eats broccoli anyway…

    does internet search for caterpillar diet… makes terrarium where he can raise them to adulthood…

    tearfully waves goodby, as they fly away, once they are grown-up butterflies.

    (sniffle…)

     

    SusanSunshine finds seven caterpillars on her broccoli….

    Shrieks loudly, grabs long tongs to pick up broccoli, runs outside to throw it in the garbage….

    or the compost… whichever is closer…

    Examines kitchen floor to make sure she didn’t drop a caterpillar.

    Changes dinner plans.

    Yet another thing to feel guilty about?

    Sigh….

    I think eaglets sleep the same as the little owlets! BTW my new avatar is my painting of the “snook”, a very popular saltwater fish here in Florida!

    Were those caterpillars made by John Deere?

    Sam’s only problem was that there were ten caterpillars before he began eating the broccoli…
