Photos: Tower Going Up, Monarch Caterpillar, and Cats

Tonight Larry brought home the boom truck he drives for Walkers, in order to put up the next 20' section of tower for our Internet dish.

Daylilies

Monarch caterpillar's shed skin.  A monarch caterpillar sheds its skin five times in just two weeks.


Monarch caterpillar chowing down on a milkweed leaf -- its sole source of food.


Meanwhile, the boom is nearly extended,

... and Larry has attached straps to the top of tower section 2.

Teddy, having heard what his father was up to (literally), has come to help.

Tiger and Tabby.
Cameras make both of these cats nervous.  

Tabby comes and checks out the camera...

Tiger

...while Tiger skedaddles for higher ground.




See the Internet dish in the background, atop a pole on the house?  That's as high as the pole will extend -- and it's not high enough to get a good signal over the trees.







Bolting the two tower sections together.



Looking down on the lower deck from my viewpoint on the upper deck, which is just off the unfinished new bedroom.

The scissor lift rises to 40 feet -- right to the top of the tower.

Tabby


He'll soon be 19 years old... but he still scampers around like a kitten now and then.

Tiger -- he makes at least three of little Tabby.
