I am surprised by how well the hard boiled egg mold actually works.

What I found
Mumblelard was at work and the girl children were at their grandparents. This little snake was under the garage door. I took some photos and then moved him down towards the back yard. I thought it was a baby snake (which would mean many more were around) but Finn identified it for me - a ring neck snake. They are little and cute. Everyone was mad at me for letting him go and not keeping it for them to see…

I found this little snake when I opened my garage door yesterday. I thought it was a baby and immediately thought of its siblings that must be crawling nearby (I am a bit scared of snakes by the way)… The girl children were at their grandparents so I took photos and moved the snake down the hill, away from the threat of my tires. That evening, I showed the pictures to Finn and she said, “It’s a ring neck snake! My friend Kayla had one as a pet and brought it to the Montessori school! It’s not a baby!” I’m so proud of my girl.

What Fallie found at the construction site behind our house and safely carried all the way home. She does this cute impression of a praying mantis catching its prey with its grasping, spiked forelegs.
