Say Hello

Say hello to my little friend, Mr. leaf bug!  When I went to take Filippo to school, we found this big guy chillin on my passenger side mirror.  He hung on while I drove Filippo to school and back.  He was huge.  We watched him groom himself and check himeself out in the mirror for an hour or so and then he hopped off.  I have never seen a leaf bug up close.  It was huge!

late summer highlights

It was a pretty mild summer.  Because of that, the blackberry bushes by our house bloomed late.  But don't worry, we were patient.  Is there anything better than warm blackberry cobbler with ice cream.
