Today we fed a spider to my venus flytrap. We tortured that spider. We could not get it to go in the plant, so finally Jim put a needle through the spider and lowered it into the trap. It was pretty complicated, which means I am not going to feed it much. Plus it leaves behind leftovers. I pulled an ant carcass out of one of the traps today. Carrie and I went on a hike with her hyperactive dog at High Cliff. Phil was a little worried because he thought the dog had run away. But really she was having the time of her life, barking out the window and peeing every 2.5 seconds.

I am really going to miss our gas stove when we move. What is better than making smores in your kitchen?
