Sherlock at Home

Today I got to play at the house of two of my best friends, (who are sisters).

For the sake of online privacy I will use only the first letters of their names when I'm talking about them here, and the first letters of their NICKNAMES at that. So it is entirely safe. :)

I've had a detective agency before, with another friend, and it worked out nicely. We had a lab, and analyzed evidence with my microscope and solved (real) mysteries and everything, but she got bored of it and we had to stop our detective work.

But today I started up a new Detective Agency with R. and H.

We have secret names we use for our detective work.

(different from our nicknames. We have a lot of names: we all have a nickname, a tease name, a detective name, and an online name, lol)

I'm the leader of the agency, (Not self proclaimed, voted. They both said I should be) H.'s the Field Investigator, and R.'s the Navigator of Field Missions.

We named our Agency "Serasponda Detective Agency".

And we've already got a good mystery we're working on.

What is it? Well, that's top secret. ;)

But if you're ever in the area and have a mystery that needs solving, you know who to call. :)

Lazy Bugs

My nieces are long gone, and I'm back to my walking schedule. . .

30 minutes, every day, no matter how cold it is.

Might not always be fun, but it was my only New Years resolution this year, and I'm sticking with it.

So, yesterday when I was walking, I found a little green bug lying on the path. (a stink bug, but, hey, I don't have one for my collection yet!)

It looked dead, so I took it home to add to my collection of well-preserved dead bugs.

But while my mother and I were looking at it under the magnifying glass, what did it do other than wake up and start wiggling about!

Apparently, it had gotton so cold that it was hibernating!

And today, I found more! Another stink bug, and a cricket! All hibernating in the cold.



Sorry little buggys, didn't mean to wake you up. ;)
