I am glad you all liked it. I wanted to learn to do that shiny border period, and Miss Dolly showed me. I wanted to wrap it around a Photofiltre frame. I couldn’t get Photofiltre’s filter to open. Sounds funny doesn’t it? You have to open filter to get to frame...Lori, you use that don’t you? By the way I took the plain picture to Photofiltre. Didn’t have the shiny border at that time. So I know it wasn’t that!

Gotta go...see you ladies later!

[jaycee]

Beautiful graphic and poem, L.J.....!

[jaycee]

Thank you, Luv.

[jaycee]

Very nice Billie. Love the song and the piano makes it more romantic!

[Lady Jag]

We must be passionate.

Jason was on a talk show last week, and with the biggest smile, admitted that who he chose, he IS engaged to! (Lucky girl! Wonder who she will be?)

[Billie]

There is that beautiful, sweet graphic I remember you used once before - I think that is a 'new' poem though. Love it!

A RED, RED ROSE
~ Robert Burns ~

O my luve's like a red, red rose.
That's newly sprung in June;
O my luve's like a melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will love thee still, my Dear,
Till a'the seas gang dry.

Till a'the seas gang dry, my Dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
I will luve thee still, my Dear,
While the sands o'life shall run.

And fare thee weel my only Luve!
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it were ten thousand mile!

GREAT picture, with snowflakes, Luv! The hummingbird feeder by the front porch was packed with ice/snow, and a little hummer was sitting in the branch above it, making her little ‘clicking’ sound when I went outside. I had to use a twig to pound and dig it clear for her. Flagstaff got almost a foot and a half!

[Billie]

As long as it’s not DeAnna. :) The remaining 3 shouldn’t have to be in the position after all this time to compete with her.

[Billie]

Thanks, Luv - I'm glad you liked the music!

[Lady Jag]

The poem is new I know and yes I have used the photo before.

Love is ageless.

[Billie]

I am hoping for a 'happily-ever-after' ending with one of the three women (or four, if you include DeAnna.....NOOOOOOOO!).

:)

[luvie]

Poor little birdie...maybe her little beak was “chattering” in the cold! Thanks for feeding her! OUr hummers disappear
for the winter months.

[luvie]

It was very pretty...
you do so much for us around here!

[Billie]

Thank you for listening, Jaycee. I’m glad you liked it, too!

[Lady Jag]

Love doesn't make the world go 'round.
Love is what makes the ride worthwhile

In the summertime, I usually have ten hummers, or so. I bought a feeder with eight openings, and they were full all the time. But, once ‘roufous’ got here in July, he wouldn’t let any other hummers near it - so I took it down. Now, I just have the one feeder - with four openings.

Most of the hummers have migrated by October - but for those who stick around, I always keep fresh syrup out there for them. (All the bird information I have ever read, says that keeping a feeder out will NOT keep them from migrating.)

The hummingbird makes that ‘clicking’ noise, LUV - all year round.

Jason was on a talk show last week, and with the biggest smile, admitted that who he chose, he IS engaged to!

I think I saw that video. He seemed sooooo happy! I just can't believe that he would choose DeAnna, so it has to be one of the three remaining and my money is on Jillian. She seems "right" for him in a way that I can't explain. There just seems to be more of a connection there that he doesn't have with Melissa or Molly. Jillian seems to have more depth than the others, and I think he appreciates the relationship she has with her family. Jason seemed so relaxed with her family, like he fit right in.....as opposed to Naomi's family. Good grief, were they weird, or what? LOL

But, once ‘roufous’ got here in July, he wouldn’t let any other hummers near it -

I had one of those that showed up and stayed for about a week. He plunked himself on a branch right next to the feeder and guarded it day and night. No other hummingbird could get close to it. He had the most beautiful iridescent copper colored breast....but MEAN he was!!! I was happy when he decided to move on.
