Just realized there was a line missing from this poem:

Love thee dearest? Love thee?

Love thee, dearest? Love thee?
Yes, by yonder star I swear,
Which through tears above thee
Shines so sadly fair;
Though often dim
With tears, like him
Like him, my love will shine!
And - love thee, dearest? Love thee?
Yes, till death I'm thine.

Leave thee, dearest? Leave thee?
No, that star is not more true;
When my vows deceive thee,
He will wander too.
A cloud of night
May veil his light
And death shall darken mine
But - leave thee, dearest? Leave thee?
No, till Death I'm thine.

Thomas Moore

Good Afternoon Amy :)
TGIF!

I posted four pictures of the snow in my yard - and luv took one, framed it, and ‘made’ falling snowflakes on it. IMO, it was brilliant, but then, Billie, Just Amy, Mama_Bear, Kitty Mittens, Lady Jag, Gee Bee, Dolly Cali and Jaycee (plus MANY I have missed, here) do things that I could never come close to! I’m lucky to do HTML on titles and pictures.

HERE: #1767 is that post. :)

Yorkie, the falling snow on top of a snowy scene is all a matter of knowing how to post "tables", and I've tried to help teach others what I know about it. Trust me, HTML was as foreign a language to me as Greek or anything besides English and Pig Latin, and I learned it! If you truly want to learn to do things like add falling snow to your pictures, it takes practice and time for it to sink in, but it will! Just FYI, BELOW is the HTML coding that Luv used for your picture.

For the snow to be ON TOP OF your backyard picture, your picture has to be posted as a "table" instead of an "image", and the width and height must be specified as well. The 'snow' also has to have a transparent background and you also post it as a "table" instead of an "image" and you should give it either the same width and height dimensions as the picture you want it to be on top of - or a little smaller. Either will work, but you HAVE to give it approx size of the image or it will otherwise be only the physical size of the snow gif itself. Sorry if I'm confusing you. :( It does eventually begin to make sense. :)

Good Afternoon Yorkie
I’m glad you enjoy the songs, Thanks! And thanks for including me on this list. I wish I was near as talented as so many here. It’s always learning isn’t it. Your graphics are always some of the best!

[Mama_Bear]

You are a fabulous teacher, Billie. You have a way of explaining complicated html coding so that it is understandable for beginners. I know that I am only one of many here who have benefited from your teaching. You are doubly talented; you can do it and you can teach it. :-)

[JustAmy]

Happy TGIF, everyone.

Well, hang onto your bucket. You never know when those drips will return!

[MEG33]

LOL!

[Billie]

Jaycee, you DID post a snow picture a couple of months ago! You just forgot. It was my pretty birdhouses I showed you how to post. :)

[Billie]

Do you know I Heart you? :)

Precious and... I loved your Daffodil Principle

[Kitty Mittens]

I Saw those Beautiful Pics, Yorkie, when I was Lurking, and the Snow LUV Put on One; those Pics were All Wonderful!

Billie, Just Amy, Mama_Bear, Kitty Mittens, Lady Jag, Gee Bee, Dolly Cali and Jaycee (plus MANY I have missed, here) do things that I could never come close to! I'm lucky to do HTML on titles and pictures.

Oh, Yorkie, you are So Sweet and Kind! I Mainly Lurk at the End of the Day to Catch Up on the Thread, and don't Post Much, so I Never Say how Many Times I am in Awe of the Things you Post! Your Contributions to Amy's Place are So Excellent; I couldn't Begin to Do All the Wonderful Things you Do! You Make this an Even More Wonderful and Outstanding Place.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Billie, Thank you for Posting those Codes; I've Always Wondered how you and our other FRiends had that Falling Snow on your Pics, but Never Asked how it was Done; I Once Saved a 'Falling Snow' Background Gif somewhere in my Photobucket Folders, in Case I ever Learned how to Add it to Pics; Thank you!!

[Kitty Mittens]

I Love your Pics of our President, and our President's Pets!
