Most of you have left for the evening, but my butterflies and I just wanted to fly by and say hello, FRiends! Lovely thread today, Amy. Thanks so much, everyone!

[jaycee]

Just noticed your post....have you tried that Crown Royal yet?
Or are you a Jack Daniels man....period? LOL!

[jaycee]

Darn, jaycee, watch that double-posting!

Time Changes

Time changes may not make much sense,
To grumpy Indians in their tents,
This cutting short a blanket to sew
It back at the other end you know.

And farmers always make the claim,
Their cows regard them still the same,
With cold hands in the early morn intrusion,
Where numbers on a clock just add confusion.

Time changes … nothing.

Time changes in the city life of bustle,
Making noise even earlier to hustle,
Out to be the early bird although its worm,
Has scarcely gone to bed and will not squirm.

The traffic rears its ugly head and voice,
And everyone must go, they have no choice.
Or else they will be late, so very, very late,
For what they know’s that all-important date.

Time changes … everything.

While watchers of the life around them wonder,
How did the human race begin this blunder?
This racing, running, rampaging about,
This losing of a whispered love in shout.

When nature set the time for waking with the light,
And time for gaining rest with growing night,
We had more time for talking and just being,
In that togetherness we now-a-days are fleeing.

Times change.

That poem says it all and is so true, NNB!

Life is a hustle-bustle each day and like they say “we don’t take time to smell the roses most days!”

[JustAmy]

GReat, NnB and absolutely true.

Why don’t we leave the time at standard time all year. I hate the spring ahead when we need to adjust to the earlier time.

Hey .... Happy Saturday. How was your Halloween?

[jaycee]

Welllllll, didn’t you notice I was here too, JUST AMY! LOL!

[JustAmy]

Happy Saturday,Jaycee. Thank you. I found that image and sent it to Billie. She made a very pretty picture beautiful.

Finally getting a few minutes to post some replies.

Since I’m so far behind, all answers will be in text. :(

[jaycee]

You mean the Monarch? Is it posted on this thread? I found several today.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Hi Diver. I felt that with the pecans and chocolate, we’d peak interest with our girls ... But add Jack Daniels and here you are. Now where are the rest of our guys? :^ )

Happy Saturday and wishes for a blessed Sunday.

[JustAmy]

Owww .... how pretty, DD. I love autumn ... the cooler weather and the beautiful fall colors.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Did he go trick or treating last night?

[JustAmy]

Any rain yet? We had very light sprinkles. Hope we get some rain tonight.

I love your pictures. We visited Spokane a few years ago and were impressed with that area.

But I think winters get too cold for this California gal.

[JustAmy]

LOL ... Yep ... Zero believes in spreading the wealth as long as it isn’t his.

I heard another along the same lines. I think it is in email. If I can find it I will post it tomorrow.

[jaycee]

Oh, how gorgeous....I would like to spend a couple of days in a beautiful setting like that! I’m serious when I say how
beautiful it truly is. Something like that would make a nice wall picture, large and framed, wouldn’t it?

[JustAmy]

How very pretty, Luv. Thank you for the link and that pretty graphic.

Happy Saturday and Have a beautiful Sunday.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Then no more chocolate for awhile, right? :^ )

[JustAmy]

Billie made the Opening Monarch Graphic from a picture I found.

I thought it was a beautiful picture and a wonderful Opening for today.

[jaycee]

Oh, I understand now. It was a gorgeous butterfly and floral picture for sure. I didn’t get on here until tonight. Its been a busy 3 days. I was thinking about my neighbor next door, its when everyone goes home and the house gets silent is when it hits hard when losing your husband/wife. I was just wondering how he was feeling tonight....he is probably worn out, they have had wall to wall cars there for 3 days.
