"Out of the Mouths of Babes"



This is the story of the Wooly-Worm. We were walking over by the barn, and I saw a beautiful woolyworm crawling in front of us. I picked it up, held it in the palm of my hand and showed it to Ashley. She gently touched it and we put it in some weeds next to the barn where it would not get trampled on.


Later during the night - Ashley was sound asleep, but started mumbling in her sleep. She started talking and very plainly said "When you pick up a woolyworm, you put it in some flowers" .........pause........"And you will have wooly flowers." Then she giggled and went back to sleep.......


I thought we had put it in some weeds, but I went back and looked, and sure enough, those weeds were full of little white flowers.
