Thank you, Meg!
The above is a picture taken in the streets of Umbria, Italy.
Now, THOSE geraniums will not be destroyed by wild pigs, will they?

[jaycee]

I’m going to bring my shotgun and come to Arizona and you and I are going hunting for javelina. (I couldn’t kill anything if I wanted to.)

Amazing Grace

by John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

Dear God, who suffered
torment, agony and death upon the Cross
to free our souls from the chains of iniquity;
protect and defend our troops. Guide them in the
performance of their duties. Strengthen them to endure
hardship, danger and deprivation in Your service.
Let their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghanistan
from the chains of terror and slavery, foster a lasting
peace in the region,and bring all to a greater share in
Your Mercy.
Amen.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

THE NAVY HYMN

Eternal Father, Strong to Save

The Marine Corps Verse:

Eternal Father, grant we pray
To all Marines both night and day,
The Courage, Honor, Strength and Skill
Their Land to serve, Thy Law Fulfill.
Be Thou the Shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps!

This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalms 118:24(KJV)

Have a Blessed Lord’s Day!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

The Lord Delighteth in them that Fear Him,
And Attend Upon His Mercy.

A Blessed Lord's Day to Amy's Place

LOL! I had Game and Fish come evaluate my situation. I was told there was nothing I could do, short of getting rid of my bird feeders.

It is against the law to kill or injure a javelina. I bought a B B gun, but only used plastic pellets, thinking it would scare them off.

I took aim, and pulled the trigger - and BULLS-EYE! Right on the rump! And the pig didn’t even flinch! Again, this time at the shoulder. Nothing.

I guess their hide is so thick, that nothing (legal) will penetrate it.

They travel in herds, (usually 8 - 10) and ‘claim’ their territory of 1 - 2 square miles.

They move rocks and dig up large plants, eat bulbs, and are generally quite destructive.

Good Morning, Conor

Thank you for Amazing Grace, The Navy Hymn
and Amen to your prayer for our troops.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

Beautiful, Meg! Geraniums are probably my favorite summer plants - mostly because they’re so easy to grow here and so colorful. Love the Alps in the background!

[Billie]

I love your little red wagon full of red geraniums! I have pots and hanging baskets of red, pink, hot pink, and white geraniums in my courtyard.
