This guy (with a great voice) starts to skip some rocks across a frozen lake, and the resulting sound has him giggling like a small child.

I went to my friend's house today in Youngsville, and he gave me "homegrown" honey and tomatoes, and let me help feed the fish!

I saw an inchworm last week at the car show, and its movements fascinated me!

I found this acorn at the Banks Street post office....  there were dozens of these on the ground, about the same size as this one... Is this abnormal?

CJ has been going on all week about the 'critters' that may or may not be invading his new house (he claims that there was a critter in his garage; he DID find a big frog in his kitchen).  When I got home this afternoon to let the dogs out, they immediately went to the back porch and started raising a ruckus!  The hair on Lil' Bit's back was standing on end, and she was pawing at something.
