One bat missing/God's Paintbrush

I bought this framed cute little bat at the Rural Society Sale.  My granddaughter loves bats.  She saw the Asian bats at the Columbus Zoo and just loved them.  They look like year old babies wrapped in a black scarf hanging upside down.  They are huge.  You can see through their wings when they are all wrapped up.  I thought she would love this picture.  But, I added it to my Halloween display and I may just keep it.  I searched the web for other bat pictures and my goodness, they were scary.  So I passed on that idea.  BUT, I have the cutest handmade bat from Dottie Red from across the pond.  She sent it to me last year.  I didn't get it til almost Christmas so I used it on my tree, hah.  I just came across it and now I can't find it, boo.  I will find it and then I will post it.  It was so sweet of her to send it to me.
And now for God's Paintbrush.  He has been busy coloring our world.

This critter was on my mailbox.  He's not a bat but he is upside down, or is he?  Look at those feelers.......there are some inside the mailbox.  Anyone know what kind of caterpillar he is?  I hope fall is beautiful where you live.  Kelle on the blog  Enjoying the small things  www.kellehampton.com lives in Florida.  Her sister sends a giant box of colorful leaves to her every fall.  Her kids then get to play in the leaves.  Is that not the cutest idea ever.  I am going to do that sometime. 

On my way to go watch over my granddaughters last night I drove through the college and thru a wooded area.  I had to remind myself to breathe as I went through those beautiful trees.  Wow.......this kind of beauty is outstanding.  Speaking of outstanding, I hope your week has been outstanding.
