salad bar

Fresh veggies are especially  nice in the summer, but salads are a  pain in the neck to make.  So year ago, we started prepping all the veggies at once, putting them in separate containers, and then pulling them out whenever we want a salad.  Allows each of us to custom make it, and it means if one thing goes off, the whole salad isn’t ruined.

post caterpillar

Day two of caterpillar-fest.  Even though the focus is on the caterpillars, they do, of course, turn into butterflies and moths, so there’s a few of them on hand as well.  This is a luna moth. I learned that their long wingtips actually mess up bats’ sonar, making them difficult for bats to catch.  Evolution!!
