A mild Winter predicted .... ?

While at the ashram, I spotted this amaaaazing striped super furry bug ! It's called a wooly bear caterpillar (Katie told me) --- so of course, I had to google it and guess what ? Apparently, the little critters appear in the Fall and are used to predict the severity of Winter according to their colored stripes ! Mine had a wide brown stripe in the middle and according to legend, that means the upcoming Winter season will be mild ! I like that !

.... so much for a city girl to learn ....
