"Woolly Bear Caterpillar"
I saw this little black beauty meandering across my driveway. Curious ... and hoping to discover what type of glorious butterfly she would become ... I attempted to identify her. My "Best Guess" is that she is a "Woolly Bear Caterpillar," larva of Pyrrharctica isabella ... the Isabella Tiger Moth. No colorful butterfly in the making here ... but an interesting caterpillar covered in dense black bristles. The Woolly Bear is rumored to be a good winter weather predictor.

"S&P of the Day -- Vintage 'Wildfire' by Hall"
It's always fun to discover new information about collection pieces ... I discovered the name and manufacturer of this set of S&P ... "Wildfire (Radiance)" by Hall ... and added it to the other tidbits of information I have on pieces in my collection. The age of the set is still TBD. It is one of my favorite sets because of the size and heft (4.25") of the pieces. They are large, but fit comfortably in one's hands.
