Bulldogs won...my granddaughter’s new hubby loves the Ga. Bulldogs. He was born and raised here, went to college in Tennessee and loves the Bulldogs. His groom’s cake had the Ga. Bulldogs on it.

Also, my brother lives in Georgia and he loves them. He’s on the Alabama line so he roots for Alabama when the Bulldogs aren’t playing. I am experiencing deja’vue, seems like I posted this to someone or was telling someone in email. If I am repeating, please overlook. LOL!!!

Tennesse won too...35-3 and my son said they still didn’t look good. We lost last week. We may be in for a bad year.

Thanks, Amy. Is that a Monarch? I don’t know butterflies very well.

I tried replying to this and it didn’t go through. When I hit post, a blank page came up and when I “arrowed back”, the post wasn’t there! Strange things are happening to me.

But I loved that lady. I believe I have said all of those things when I was raising my boys. LOL!!!

Ooops .... Sorry.

I’m rooting for the FResno State Bulldogs. :) They play at 7:30 our time.

Congrats to the GA Bulldogs and to also to Tennessee.

I googled Swallowtail and this image is labeled Tiger-Swallowtail.

I should have some pictures of Monarchs.
A couple of years ago, we were in Pismo for the Monarchs.
Personally, I think the Swallowtails are the prettier of the two.



Monarch Butterfly.

Well as I see the two together, they are both beautiful.
Both images from Google.

Yes, I see now that Monarchs don’t have the “swallow tail”, and they are more black and orange. So, mine is a Tiger Swallowtail? Thank you, Amy, it is nice to know my butterfly visitor’s name. :-)

I slept all day! I had none of the predicted high winds from the west outer bands of Ike. The eastern bamds are trouble.

I know your brother is anxious to hear how his home fared..F

Thank you Amy. Majie Purple included me in her pings and I felt it was about time I stopped by. I love that group and they’ll be coming out with a new Christmas CD or DVD (can’t remember which) this fall. I love to sing and hear great singing. Straight No Chaser is definitely good singing!

And to further introduce myself, here is my favorite poem:

Sweet Afton by Robert Burns

Flow gently, sweet Afton! amang thy green braes, Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise; My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream, Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.

Thou stockdove whose echo resounds thro' the glen, Ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny den, Thou green-crested lapwing thy screaming forbear, I charge you, disturb not my slumbering Fair.

How lofty, sweet Afton, thy neighbouring hills, Far mark'd with the courses of clear, winding rills; There daily I wander as noon rises high, My flocks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye.

How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below, Where, wild in the woodlands, the primroses blow; There oft, as mild Ev'ning weeps over the lea, The sweet-scented birk shades my Mary and me.

Thy crystal stream, Afton, how lovely it glides, And winds by the cot where my Mary resides; How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave, As, gathering sweet flowerets, she stems thy clear wave.

Flow gently, sweet Afton, amang thy green braes, Flow gently, sweet river, the theme of my lays; My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream, Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
