The Eastern Hognose Snake
Or as Seth called it….a cobra LOL I’m standing in the bathroom shaving my legs and Seth comes in and tells me there’s a cobra in the yard. Of course I had to get the camera. It’s a scary looking snake but harmless.
Horrible!!

Iceland is Whaling Again
On May 20, 2008, Iceland announced that it would allow 40 minke whales to be killed over the next six months. This is in open defiance of the commercial whaling ban that the International Whaling Commission (IWC) implemented in 1986, and a reversal of the country’s decision in 2007 to halt this brutal practice.
HSI commends Iceland’s foreign affairs minister, Ingibjörg Sólrún Gísladóttir, for her comments criticizing the choice to resume whaling. Gísladóttir noted the negative effects that this whale hunt will have on the reputation and future of Iceland.
By contrast, Iceland’s fisheries minister, Einar Kristinn Guðfinnsson, is choosing to ignore the consequences of the hunt and allowing this unnecessary slaughter to proceed when he could be promoting whale watching, a lucrative alternative, instead.
Monarchs!
We just started seeing the Monarchs around a couple of weeks ago but haven’t yet seen any eggs….until yesterday! We found our first Monarch egg! And it’s a good thing we took it home with us because the town decided to mow the sides of the roads today and the milkweed that was growing down by the pond got mowed. We saved this little butterflies life 🙂
Boobs!
So, right now Lily is obsessed with my breasts. She wants to touch them and pull them out and play with them all of the time. I’m trying to teach her that they are private and explain to her what they are for. So one day I told her that when she was a baby she drank milk from my breasts. She looked at me and just kind of walked away but then for the rest of the day and every day after she tell everyone “When I was a baby I drank milk from mommys boobs!” But that’s not it….she made up another part of the story….”When I was a baby I drank milk from daddys boobs!” LOL Seth tells her over and over that he doesn’t have milk…it’s quite funny 🙂

Yeondoo Jung
(found this on How About Orange) Who is that you ask? A Korean artist who took a group of childrens drawings and turned them into photographs. It’s pretty cool! You can check them out here: http://www.yeondoojung.com/artworks_view_wonderland.php?no=88
YUM!
Lily and I took a walk yesterday and Lily got to taste her first wild strawberry! They were everywhere and they were delicious! She spent the rest of the day talking about them and now I’m sure she will look for them everytime we walk.
Finally!
I wanted to wait to be sure before I posted this….
LILY IS 100% POTTY TRAINED!!!
After waking up dry every morning for a month I decided to get rid of the diapers and just put her in her undies over night. That was months ago and we haven’t had one single wet morning! Do you know how happy I am not to have to deal with diapers anymore?!
Wake Up And Live
