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!

PS – We won’t be eating the crawdads.
What a fun little friend to find! I would of put it the pond, too!
Love the picture of your bike in the other entry!
Happy Weekend, Michele
Thanks, Michele! I’m still trying to walk or ride or get some kind of exercise every day!
