Why Hello Mr. Walking Stick...

Sunday morning, when Fred and I were headed back to the Ranch house on the tractor after feeding the round bale, I noticed something on a tree. I hollered at Fred to stop and he did, yeah! I went over and started pulling branches down and nabbed it and Fred sat there trying to figure out what I was after...he looked a bit nervous, lol...When I pulled the walking stick off the branch he was a bit perturbed with me, lol...I made him stop for a walking stick! I told him Michael would think it was cool and to stop his whining...at least it wasn't a snake or yet even worse a spider!


I think they are so cool...and this walking stick was NOT happy with me at all! He was doing a lot of squiggling but I managed to get it back to the Ranch house without damaging it!


and I was right, Michael thought it was pretty cool! Well that was until the walking stick latched onto his arm with his legs, ekk...They have little barbs to hang on to things and they do feel kind of strange! When we got done taking photos and examining it we turned it loose on a tree...bye bye Mr. Walking stick!
