Pet spider, pet three legged mouse, a magician's rabbit and mystery chrysalis

 What is this small white hanging object? Any experts on insects reading my blog? To me it looks like some kind of chrysalis, about an inch long, hanging on my arbor. The central part is round and it has two pointed "wings", one on each side.  It is only one or one and a half inches tall.


And while I am talking about mother nature and wildlife, here is my pet spider that lives in my bathroom. He or she only comes out at night and is rather shy.

When my hubby and I first married, we had a pet daddy long legs spider that lived in our bathroom. We put up a sign telling guests not to bother the spider. In that same rented house a tiny grey mouse appeared and it only had three legs. We thought it was cute and left out food for the poor little mouse. So our first pets as a couple were a spider and a mouse. Is that too strange for you? Feel free to laugh.

What is the oddest pet you have had?

P.S. I also had a pet bunny when I was a child, which my grandfather pulled out of his top hat when visiting us. Grandpa was Elmer Pelkin, a professional magician. So I could say I had a rabbit of magical origins, another unusual pet.

My Magic Rabbit

Did you ever have a pet rabbit? My grandpa, Elmer Pelkin, was a professional magician and he pulled a white rabbit out of his top hat and gave it to my sister and me as a pet. So I had a magic rabbit.

We named the bunny Fluffy and his favorite times were when I let him hop around the yard eating clover. I picked clover for him and he found his own.
Now thinking of rabbits has me thinking ahead to Easter.
