Thanks Billie! You should see how it looks on my monitor...all shades of green. I won’t be doing any tables until I get my new one. The match-ups would be really crazy!

Looks like piece by piece, I will get a new computer...Barry gave me a wireless keyboard and mouse for my birthday! Wasn’t that wonderful? I was shocked!! Now, I will be buying a new monitor and will be on my way! Barry says he likes to build them that way....don’t ask me why!

Our neighbor has an orange cat (which visits us frequently... daily?) who likes baby quail almost as much as you do... LOL. I have to keep running it off, or we don't get to see the little ones.

If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is forever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam; A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home. And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
Rupert Brooke

...We got a deal on some 8-ft polypropylene ‘deer fence’ a while back - I think it was $99 for 100 feet...shipped, so Dear Wife now has a gated 20x30 ‘sanctuary’ for her ‘special plants’. ...The deer get to ‘freely sample’ the rest.

Animal Control took a diamondback off my front porch several years ago. The man had a long tong type instrument, clamped the thing by the head, and held it way up over his head, trying to get it into a bucket - and it was STILL dragging its tail on the ground. (So, it was at least six or seven feet long!)
You should’a heard those rattles going!!!! I WISH I had gotten a picture of the whole thing - but I was shaking too badly to even hold a camera. Almost couldn’t even hold the phone to dial 9-1-1. LOL!

I probably would have gone into the house and peeped out the window. Snakes scare me to death! I can’t imagine seeing a snake that big and especially a diamondback.
