Today's Holidays post is outstanding, Billie.
You must have spent a lot of time making each graphic so perfect. Thank you.

It was fun to visit New Mexico again.

I like it! I am not quite as crazy about him as you are, my tastes go more towards latin and smooth jazz, but I like that little snippet. Sounds promising.

:) It's funny - I can't explain why I'm so silly over him - maybe because he doesn't sound like everyone else - and maybe because there are real people playing real horns and drums and keyboard and guitars (and harmonica!) on his cds and not that synthetic hand-clapping, "Hammond Organ" sound that's in the background of all the 'pop' singers' cds. I just know that from the minute he opened his mouth at his audition for American Idol ("Au was born by th' rivah - in a little tent, and just like the rivah, Au've been a'runnin evah since") that voice grabbed me, and hasn't let go yet. :)

The apple tree,
Makes gifts for me,
From sunny days and magic,
Weaving rainbows into sweetness,
And hypnotizing honeybees,
To send its message out,
So boys will come,
To steal a kiss.

Perfect music, Billie, for your perfect graphic, and fish hawk’s perfect poem completes it! Thank you both.

Thank you for that compliment, Lori - it was perfect. :)

[Billie]

Welllllll? You saw those twinkling eyes and that mischievous smile, right? :)

[JustAmy]

Oh such a cut poem, NnB. Thank you for coming by today.

Home you come back tomorrow for Warm Fuzzy Wednesday. :)

Wish we could figure out why that 'space' problem happened, but I do know that different default settings on pcs can make people see things a little differently. And Foxfire doesn't show many of the same colors as IE does. That can get ugly!

I love the music graphics and the bird graphics today. Music makes each day more beautiful.

Completely agree! On both! And this gives me an excuse to post my canary, and Enya singing again. :)

[JustAmy]

I’m going to ping Lori to that old thread to see if she sees the same thing that I saw. I just need to find it again.

That is a lovely song and a very pretty canary.

Oh my gosh, that's the prettiest music/violin graphic! (It looks like the same violin that's in my Image Library in PhotoImpact Pro) :)

Thanks, Amy - this is one of the first times there have been that many holidays on Tuesday! I gave serious thought to just 'listing' them without illustrations! I need you, jaycee! :)

It was fun to visit New Mexico again.

I always like to browse the state threads again, too. :)

[Billie]

AWWWWWW! I’m so glad that inspired you! Hi, Bob! Thanks for adding your poetic pen to my Apple Tree. :)

[Billie]

I’m going to ping Lori to that old thread to see if she sees the same thing that I saw. I just need to find it again.

Oh, good! Let me know if she saw a little of the left border repeated on the right side, before you took out one of the blockquotes. I'm curious to know. :)

That is a lovely song and a very pretty canary.

Thank you - I think I posted it on Sunday after yorkie and Meg couldn't think who the singer was in a YouTube that yorkie posted. Beautiful, angelic-like voice. :)

I like apples.

... and ...

... well, I like kisses too.

[Billie]

LOL

[Billie]

Hope you’re up and running again tomorrow - we’ve missed you! Taylor sang for you today. :)

[Billie]

Goodnight, All. I have enjoyed your company today. :)

[JustAmy]

Ohhhh ... how cute.

Thank you, Billie, for posting and hostessing today’s thread. You gave us another fun, playful place to play today.

Sweet dreams.

[yorkie]

Yes - and he is such a cutie! I hope the series makes it! Thanks for the reminder, Billie!

[GodBlessUSA]

LOL :)
Good Morning (((Lady Jag)))
How are you? We have a rainy day. Is it rain or snow up your way? I hope most of the snow here will be gone after today’s rain.

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning Amy :)
Thanks! This is a unique beautiful bird!

We go hot to cold..Today will be near 70 again and warmer for two more days...then back to cold again..
I grew accustomed to desserts over Christmas and grabbed the strawberries and cake while grocery shopping Sunday night (to avoid a cold rainy Monday trip.)

I loved having this picture of my husband to post..He was a very good man...and handsome.
