I love the ones that Target had on sale last week for 30 cents each in all the bright colors. I think I hoard most school supplies, though this is our first year homeschooling and we only have one at home this first year, we will be well stocked (read overstocked) with papers and pencils and notebooks.~C~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07339715700098306573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691883299905666578.post-23657296097977035262011-07-29T22:39:31.057-05:002011-07-29T22:39:31.057-05:00That moth has got to be the most gorgeous yucky bu...That moth has got to be the most gorgeous yucky bug I've ever seen.

Went on a search and found this.<br />Greenstriped Mapleworm (Dryocamma rubicunda)<br />This is also known as the rosy maple moth and has a wingspread of 1.5 to two inches. The forewings are rose-red crossed by a broad pale yellow band. The body is yellow with the underside and legs rose-red.<br /> Enjoy your blog.

I didn't know they could look like that.<br /><br />I'm Linny, and I'm a composition notebook hoarder, too. I write in them every day. I write down Bible verses I want to remember, my thoughts on them, other things I hear in every day life, or sometimes just vent. I also decorate them Linnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16083643601356779800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691883299905666578.post-46637079928428248392011-07-28T12:38:43.729-05:002011-07-28T12:38:43.729-05:00Mice!
