It’s A Crawdad

Written by Lynn on 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!

About Lynn

I am a 40-something-year-old mother of four delightful children, have been married for 22 years to my carpenter husband, and live in a 1921 farm-style house. I find the most joy in my garden, growing and harvesting herbs and flowers and caring for our delightful bunnies.

I have a 21-year-old son, an 18-year-old son, a 15-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly (and very funny) 11-year-old daughter who is homeschooled.

I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I'm a book lover, bird lover, gardener and aspiring herbalist. I seek no help for my thrift store addiction. I do medical transcription from home part-time.

My Symphony

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
