Day Fifty One

Fed the one lone silkworm a few leaves off our depleted mulberry tree.
This last silkworm seems very reluctant to move on to the next stage of its cycle.
Someone in the Blue Mountains posted a picture of their liquid amber tree which thinks it's autumn already and its leaves have turned all autumnal colours.
Wonder what effect this has on the silkworms and their development.
This December is officially the coolest December on record in fifty years!



Here's another picture I've found of Alice and the Blue Caterpillar.  Hope you like it.

Day Forty Three, Week 7

Here is Alice, from Alice In Wonderland speaking with the blue caterpillar.

In Lewis Carroll's story, the caterpillar does not have a name.

The caterpillar's most memorable quote would have to be:  "Who are you?"

To which Alice replies:  "I—I hardly know, sir, just at present—at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have changed several times since then."

Is Lewis Carroll alluding to the changes that a caterpillar must go through in its own life?

Will Alice need to go through similar transformations? 

In the original story by Carroll, the caterpillar makes an appearance in chapters four and five then disappears from the scene.

How true to form is this?
