squinney spotted a HUUUUGE jet black UNBELIEVABLY wooly wooly worm in the garage......make sure you have your mittens, stocking caps and paraffin for the sled runners.....also, plenty of oils lotions, C cell batteries and astro glide for those indoor winter sports...we could have a long cold one....if you believe the wooly worm theory.....

There's a wooly worm theory to do with bad weather?

Luckily, we rarely get them over here, scourges of humanity as they are.

wooliness, color, size, all indicators of the winter to expect.

You get one huge and wooly that is so dark there's not even any stripes and you have a rough winter coming...cold anyway.

the wooly worm theory is surprisingly accurate.

If they have a mohawk it means that they'll be forming a garage band in YOUR garage.

What if you catch all the wooly worms and shave them.

Would you then have tropical winters?

You could sew them all together into a coat if it got too cold, gus.

You know, that's not a bad idea.

As a matter of fact.... that might be the best idea I've heard in a long time.

I'm off.

Why would wide wooly worms want warm winters?


Wabbits wouldn't want worm woolies when wrapped with warm waddling, wight?

Worms?

I have doubts about the accuracy of worms. Worms turn.

Now the Old Farmer's Almanac.....

ok.
i know.
you're all fascinated by my vacation photos.
but.
i saw this caterpillar when we were travelling around lake michigan in october.
it's pretty darn dark and woolly.
it struck me at the time how dark and woolly it was.
it made me want to put on a sweater.

there's an enormous tomato just down the highway here, and i believe Montana lives not too far from the giant potato.

things are bigger here!

The pieces of the puzzle are falling together as far as locating Montana's house. At first I had her on the wrong coast, but through some shrewd detective work, reading some of the threads, I placed her on the right coast. Then, slowly, I began to get closer and closer.

And now, the giant potato comes into view.

I almost have you pinpointed, Montana.
