the meikever LIVES!

... watch as this decapitated june beetle wiggles its mandibles and legs hours after i found it lying on a sidewalk near my favorite tea shop. You never know what amazing things you'll see in the course of a day - enjoy!

Wow, a decapitated bug that still LIVES. How is that?

Anyway: heard from Arrye this week and they might come visit us in August on a NY/Canada tour.

Hmmm...will the Willis family visit anytime soon?
:- ) It's not like you've got a lot of travel already booked. Or anything. Yeah.

glad you guys enjoyed it! it's the little things in life ...

A tour with your family and Arrye, John, Ethan would be just the ticket to lure us back, but funfortunately we're committed already this summer. Lenka's getting married in Prague, and Stijn and I will have 2.5 days to explore the city and reconnect with friends there. Other part of vacation we'll be exploring southern Europe

But still looking for organic farm to do some volunteer work with the kids ..... anyone ideas please forward:)

it seemed you were heading towards jenever but never got there? unfortunately that meikever didn't make it until 4 pm, but lo and behold another meikever "head" was waiting on our footsteps when we got home today... and he's STILL moving!

WHAT's eating these guys???? ...i would really like to know.

or maybe it's a sign that i'm losing my head!
