It’s A Crawdad

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

Princess of the Universe likes to play with some of her neighborhood friends who have a little creek (or “crick” as they say in some places).  It runs behind their house.  Well, guess what she came running home with yesterday?


This is a crayfish, which is a fresh water crustacean; it’s also known as a crawdad.


She let the crawdad sit on her shoulder.  I suppose there was a bit of fear that it might decide to pinch her lip?  The crawdad is a close relative of the lobster.  :)


I’ve been meaning to show you how clear the goldfish pond is right now.  This is pretty good considering that the pond is all natural — no chemicals to treat algae, etc.  You can see the base of the lily pad plant at the bottom of the pond.


I put an arrow to show you the little crayfish that the children decided would be perfect for the goldfish pond.  It seems like an okay thing to me. 

Have a great weekend!
