Caterpillars and Aunt Annie

Back in July my mother became ill and I had to make a fast trip to Ohio.  My Aunt Annie and Uncle Wes offered to let me stay with them while making trips to and from the hospital.  After a stressful drive and and an even more stressful visit at the hospital I pulled into Annie and Wes' drive where I was greeted with a beer and a fire in the fire pit.  I could feel the stress of the day melt away as we sat by the fire chatting away the days events.  As the fire burned down I felt my eyelids shutting down so, I walked myself upstairs and I fell into bed.

Each morning welcomed me with a hot cup of coffee and great conversation with Annie.  Early one morning as we drank our coffee, I spotted a Caterpillar carting little eggs on its back. I have no clue as to what type of caterpillar this is but watching it with its precious cargo was fascinating.







Just like the caterpillar taking care of her egg family Annie, Wes and Wes took care of me.
