I am a Pacific Northwest native transplanted to the southeast for 36 years. In 2012, I returned to my childhood home and fell in love with this corner of the country again. I am a grandmother, a storywriter, a teacher, an attention payer, a hiker, and a back roads wanderer. Check out my website (and my memoir) at www.gretchenstaebler.com.

Charming, curious and bursting with enthusiasm. What a joy to experience the world through the eyes of a precious 5 year old ♡

When I was his age we used to go to a camp on the river, and there were millions of those tiny tree frogs available for the catching. I regret to say, one year I caught a whole jarful, and unfortunately they smothered each other because there was no room to breathe even though I carefully poked holes in the jar lid with a nail. One of my first lessons in “too many”.

Looks like a bug and not a slug, thank goodness.
