Awesome Pics and Posts, Everyone! Thank you, Dear Amy, for the Fun and Fellowship of Amy's Place.

This Cute Kitty Sitting in a Tub Looks Like he's Ready for a Shampoo and Bath, Lol:

October's Bright Blue Weather
 
  O suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather;

When loud the bumblebee makes haste,
Belated, thriftless vagrant,
And goldenrod is dying fast,
And lanes with grapes are fragrant;

When gentians roll their fingers tight
To save them for the morning,
And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
Without a sound of warning;

When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like jewels shining,
And redder still on old stone walls
Are leaves of woodbine twining;

When all the lovely wayside things
Their white-winged seeds are sowing,
And in the fields still green and fair,
Late aftermaths are growing;

When springs run low, and on the brooks,
In idle golden freighting,
Bright leaves sink noiseless in the hush
Of woods, for winter waiting;

When comrades seek sweet country haunts,
By twos and twos together,
And count like misers, hour by hour,
October's bright blue weather.

O sun and skies and flowers of June,
Count all your boasts together,
Love loveth best of all the year
October's bright blue weather.

Helen Hunt Jackson

Good afternoon, Billie. Happy Fruit Day.

Thank you for your nice comments on my Holiday Post.
It is always a fun task to find the 'best' graphics to use.

Hope you are having a beautiful day.

Thank you for the nice compliment.

"I look forward every day to see the way you open the door!"
Ooops, I shouldn't have told you what I would be using on Wednesday. LOL.

Thanks for all you do, Billie.

"Isn’t it funny that I get on more when I’m at “work” than I do when I’m home!"

Boy, do I understand.
There are days that after 20 minutes here, I need to go take care of something else.
So happy that you are able to check in while you are working.

We enjoy your visits.

Hi. I got that in my e-mail today and thought it was cute. Sorry if you all have already seen it before with all the kitty graphics that get posted.

It's good to be able to spend some time here, I still miss The Finest especially JH2's Two Cents. Do you know if he's still writing essay's?

Love the sparkly graphic.

Ooh, I haven’t seen that one before, Yorkie. Very nice.

Maxfield Parrish was one of a kind.

That is sweet, Kitty Mittens, just perfect!
Such a snow white kitty with round yellow eyes.

I haven’t heard from JH2 since he was being featured at the Finest.

It would be great if we could have one or two of his essays before the election. He always hits it out of the park.
