Wooly Bear

I never knew about the Wooly Bear Caterpillar before the kids found this poor guy in the driveway.  I guess he positioned himself with my tire.  Oops.  That didn't stop the boys and Ella from going on a Wooly Bear adventure (after looking up what kind of caterpillar it is).  Did you know that according to legend, the wider the middle brown section is the milder the winter will be?  Conversely, a narrow brown band is said to predict a harsh winter.    
I hearby predict a very mild winter!
 The kids carried around the dead Wooly Bear for quite some time before finding two living friends for dead Wooly Bear.
 An adorable toddler hand complete with marker and a beautiful (all orange?) Wooly Bear.  Love.

 The kids went inside and found a home for all of their new friends.  Yes, dead Wooly Bear is still hanging out on our front porch.  It's all good.
Don't run out and buy snow boots!  Happy Mild Winter.
