Labor Day

I hope everyone had a great labor day! Ours was a bit of a world wind. Ron had to work Saturday but was able to get Sunday and Monday off (Horray! Two days off in a row!!). Once Ron came home from work, we packed up the car and drove down to my in-laws house. All of the family came over to celebrate Ron’s birthday (belatedly). We had a blast talking, eating, laughing, eating, smiling…did I mention eating?

We spent the next day moving furniture back to Connecticut. Ron’s Aunt and Uncle gave us their old dining room set! We are thrilled to have a matching set of furniture. The table seems so large now! We actually have to pass each other things during dinner! Total Craziness!

We celebrated Labor Day by doing some much needed yard work. We spent all day clearing vines off of this one tree. Unfortunately, you can barely tell we did anything out there since it is so overgrown. Oh bother. While Ron was hacking away at the vines and I was performing my Tarzan impressions, we came across the most unusual caterpillar (turns out to be an American Dagger Moth). So of course we had to stop our work and take a bazillion pictures.



I have never seen anything like it. It is definitely the punk rocker of the caterpillar family !
