There on the edge of the window

 

 

It’s a Texas Giant Walking Stick.

 

Found him (I think it’s a male) later on the wall.

 

They’re common in the Eastern U.S.

 

And are the longest native insect in North America.  We don’t see them much because they’re so well camouflaged when they stay on plants.

Good song choice

That’s part of the reason why that choir video that Becky is in sounds so good.  It fits the voices.

 

Another part is that the choir director, Stephen Ross, is really good at what he does.

He is a singer and arranger in the Boulder, Colorado vocal band Face.  You have to check out this link.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL9W7EZYD9g Turn your volume up!  You will be rewarded.

 

And hey, I recognize that door at 2:25 on the video.  That’s the McKee’s Hobbit Door in Louisville!  Look, there on the back of their house, bottom right.

 

We’re sitting right in front of it.

 

From the inside there is an inscription over the doorway that reads: “ Never make anything simple and efficient if a way can be found to make it complex and wonderful.”

 

We knew the door was good, but we didn’t know it was magic!
