INVASION!!!!
Here are the pictures that I promised from the weekend at Levon Helm’s place. Levon was the drummer in the group The Band. The Jazz Band that my son plays in invaded Levon’s recording studio to play, by Levon’s invitation.
Christopher is the one playing sax in the black suit. He plays tenor sax. This is the Jazz Band, an after-school club.
Levon Helm came in to meet the band. Christopher is to his left in the black suit, and the conductor, Mr. Murphy is to the right of Levon.
This is the outside of Levon’s studio, and people were waiting because he was going to walk through the crowd with a meet and greet.
I went up to him to thank him for allowing our children to play in his studio. He let Jim take a picture of me with him.
Here is a beautiful red maple that is invading the front of our house.
This year there is an invasion of caterpillars in our area. Further north by a friend’s house the invasion became more severe.
Reminded me of the old science fiction movie, Squirm.
Katherine and Christopher on a beach in Long Island. They went out with their dad to check on the bungalo. My other son chose to stay home. The water was cold, and Katherine had a goal of sitting on the boulder.
Christopher picked up a skate on a rock. We found out that sometimes fishermen punch out circles from the skate and pawn them off as scallops. But this is the top of the skate.
There is the bottom of the skate, where it’s mouth is. Looks like some bizzare sci-fi creature invading our planet.
We thought we had seen everything when a woman came up to the Boy Scout yardsale with a goose sitting next to her. On closer inspection we found out that it was stuffed, but it sure looked real and I am certain she drew the attention of many people as she drove by.
Hope you enjoyed the pictures of a few of the recent invasions.

The tree is lovely!! And the goose certainly looks real!
Wow some really great pics, looks like you had some fun!!
I enjoyed ALL your pics! They are great! Thanks for sharing.
How cool for Chris and what neat pics! Thanks for sharing!!
Those are really great pictures! The past 2 summers we’ve had invasions of lady bugs…I don’t really think they’re all that cute anymore…lol…but I think I’d rather have them than caterpillars…yikes!
Have a blessed day!

Hey! You look good with blonde hair! (Weren’t you originally darker? Or am I delusional?)
That goose looks eerily real! And a skate! I’ve never seen (or heard of) one of those before! Reminds me of a mantaray…
Grossssssss, all those caterpillars!
Great pics.
Enjoyed the pictures! I am back after my 6 week sabatical. It was necessary — these past weeks have been overwhelming. Things should begin to get back to normal now.
Heather, Those were the most wonderful pictures!!! I loved the caterpillars myself and the goose in the car cracked me up. Thanks so much for sharing. I put some pictures on my site too today (although not nearly as entertaining as yours), stop by if you have time! Love and blessings today ~Sherry
Cool pics. Hope the caterpillar invasion doesn’t get too bad. Its great your son is meeting people and being involved in things. It will do him well later in life.

I, too, enjoyed the goose pic! The skate was a little icky…as was the massive caterpillar colony…but good pics! And how cool to meet Levon and have that experience! Something your son will always remember fondly, I’m sure….as will you.
Hey I like the pic of the AFLAC duck. Just stopping by to say Hi and enjoyed the pics.
Love ya, Darlena
Enjoyed the pictures, Heather. Thanks for posting them…Dorrice
Lovely! What a fun experience for your son! I think my favorite picture is the one of Katherine on the rock and Christopher close by. It’s great to see of picture of you too!
How neat! Love the pics!
I don’t know who Levon Helm is but I’m glad you enjoyed meeting him. The tree is beautiful, looks like you have a nice, woodsy yard. Your kids always seem happy. The goose is hysterical. It sounds like things are going well for you; I’m glad!
EEEWWWW!!!!!!! I thought the caterpillars were disgusting!!
Thanks for sharing them though!
Be blessed..Kenneth
I am a picture person, & really love all of the pix!
I love the picture of you. It is always nice to have a reminder of what the person (with whom we correspond) looks like! 
The skate pix were really fascinating, & the goose ~ well, you had me fooled until I read the caption, I thought it was real! 
~ Have a great weekend. ~ Carolyn
