OK, here are the promised caterpillar pictures. When they arrived they were teeny little worms crawling around.
They grew bigger really fast. Then they crawled to the top of the cup. Hung upside down and turned into shimmery chrysalis. In the picture below two are already transforming and one is looking for his spot to hang from. 
Have I mentioned the WIND. Yesterday we had sustained winds of 55 miles per hour for hours. The roof on the Rexburg Medical Center felt like it would come off. You could feel the vibrations in the floor even. The power was out for a long time, overnight for some. The dust made visibility zero at times. They closed the highway from Ashton due to low visibility and so many trees were down on the roads. We lost one of our big pine trees in the front yard. I am so so sad.
The dust was unbelievable. My entire house is coated in fine dust. You could feel it in your teeth.
Despite the bad weather it still can be very beautiful here.
Baseball is a struggle around here. It is ALWAYS windy and cold for the games. We have braved a couple of little league games for Isaac and Christian.
Here is Pocahontas and her little tribe braving the weather for a game.
We talked in Church about the need for everyone in the house to share their knowledge of how things work in case someone is sick or disabled. So we came straight home and had our first lesson. Jeff made the Sunday rolls. They were perfection. I have to learn how to turn the gas/power etc off.
