OLD Mother Hubbard (Lynn)

 "Lived inna shoe. Had so many caterpillars she didn't know what to do.  Seney's pink swamp milkweed sure has brung us lotsa

caterpillars this year."





I only have two plants in her flower bed, and I keep 
finding eggs and even baby pillars that I have missed.
But I actually have not seen that many butterflies!
They must be fluttering by when I'm not looking.

can you see the tiny green speck?  eggs.





"Lookie hoomans, one hatched!"



"They chew non-stop.  Lynn feeds them all they want.
I just git bits atta time."


"They are too close to my box.  What if they invade it?"





"Lynn says she'll keep a paw count and late October
she'll try to 'member to tell you how many.  Fur
me it is Nightmare on Elm street afore Halloween."




Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment.
It is much appreciated.

Lynn is doing a very good job with all those eggs and caterpillars. They are good for you to watch too.

International Cat Day, celebrated on August 8th, is a great opportunity to shower your feline friends with extra love and attention. Consider spoiling your cat with new toys, treats, or a cozy bed. You can also dedicate time to playing with your cat, grooming them, or simply enjoying some quality lap time. Beyond your own pets, you can also use the day to support local cat shelters and rescue organizations through donations or volunteering......

So...Who's the cat at the top...???

Precious, would you like to be a caterpillar and have lots to eat all day? I don't think you'd find their food very appetising You have got a very kind Mum to look after all those little creatures.

Lynn does take good care of them! If I'd done the same when the boys were with me, Nicki would have shredded that netting in short order and both he and Derry would have made short work of them.

But Precious, Lynn takes the BEST care of you...as she should!

Precious, you make me laugh. Always something to worry about, right? I bet it's fun watching those caterpillars though.

Your mom is amazing growing all of those beautiful butterflies herself, Precious!

I was bragging on your Mom yesterday, Precious, how she and you too, raise butterflies!! To me, that is absolutely amazing.

Chaplin: "I bet you would like to live in a shoe, wouldn't you, Charlee?"
Charlee: "I DO NOT HAVE A SHOE FETISH! But yes, I would give it a try."
Chaplin: "Good job raising caterpillars into butterflies, Precious. It's an investment in your own future entertainment watching them flutter around!"

Oh what a beauty Lady Seney. The swamp milkweed is very pretty for a minute I thought it was Lantana.
Precious bless your itty bitty kitty heart. The caterpillars get way better service than you. Make note of this for Lynn's EOY review
Hugs and Happy Friday
