After the mysterious loss of our frog, David quickly found a new resident for our habitat.
Say "Hi" to Prince, the Garter Snake!
Prince was, actually, very enjoyable to watch and take care of.
Things were timed perfectly, in that we had mice in the garage at this exact moment,
so we even had prime edibles for him to partake of!
But, when he refused to eat, although in all other ways he seemed just fine, we did some research.
We found that we got him out of nature just a month or so too late in the year.
Since the days had begun to shorten and cool, he had already begun his winter hibernation.
He had decided that he would no longer eat until spring.
However, our keeping him in such a nice, warm, environment would actually cause him to starve,
since the warmth was turning his digestion back on.
So... we had to let him go.
Last Fall Joe got back into regularly playing his guitar, which we all love!
Finally, for our October Author/Illustrator focus, we studied/read Eric Carle books.
To finish out the study, we created our own Eric Carle-esque pictures!
They turned out so great!
Love, Us.
