a lot of people think that it can predict the weather...
...will we have a mild winter, or a hard winter?
Here is a picture of one from our backyard... taken just a couple of weeks ago...
...he's laughing at me... I'm sure of it. He looks so innocent and harmless, his light stripe wide, un-alarming.
Looking at him, we never expected to see accumulating snow on October 29.

I don't recall ever seeing snow this early. And, I'm hoping that woolly bear got it right, that this early winter storm is not a warning of what we're going to see this year.
Oh no, if woolly bears can predict the snow than I think we're in for a snowy winter. We've seen lots of them around our backyard this fall. Eek! :)
