Intrepid explorer

Monday's weather was perfect for some outdoor exploring. Abby had a great time looking at all the life in our backyard. I didn't get pictures of the worms she found, or the 3 frogs she and Dave captured. Nor did I get pictures of the rolly-polly's she squashed (oops!), or the centipedes and beetles. We found this great caterpillar on the retaining wall.
Here is the dead bumble bee she found. As with all the other wildlife, she did not hesitate to pick it up and poke and prod it.

An up-close of the poor, dead bee.

Once Caleb got home from school, he and Abby and a neighbor friend worked hard to make a proper final resting place for the bee. Any bug should be so lucky to have such a resting place! - April
