Nancy House at the Experimental Farm

On Sunday I met Nancy and her dogs. We were all at the Experimental Farm enjoying a beautiful morning.   She called me over to a big Butternut tree to show me a cicada that had just molted. 

It was amazing.  She found the hard shell on the ground and picked it up to show me.  Apparently she was walking by the tree when the light green of the wings caught her eye. 

Now, I love meeting new people and Nancy was very interesting.  She is a biologist with the Federal Government (explains why she knew so much about bugs- wait is that a double entendre?).  In fact, she works in the same department I left but in a building of well over 1,000 people it is not a surprise that we never met.  She has the two most endearing shelter dogs.  Sally lives a few blocks from my house.  She said she and her husband bought their house for its future not for what it was at the time.   I love talking houses with the people in my neighbourhood.  She said she hopes to live there until the end of her days. 

Of course, I learned a lot more about her but some conversations are just too long to repeat.  I hope you like seeing what Nance, the biologist showed me.
