I have never seen one but it sounds great.

My Cosmos and Impatiens on my front porch area.
This is last year...the heat got to them early this year. :(

[luvie]

Thanks, Jaycee. Not sure what that flower is, but it sure
does attrack butterflies when it blooms!

[jaycee]

Do you know I cannot figure out how to do that!! Can you tell me?

[jaycee]

Thats beautiful. I love that Cosmos!

[jaycee]

That works better than the butterfly bush!!

[MEG33]

How pretty , LUV...I love impatiens...
I have come to love cosmos through internet searches..I never have grown them.
Will they last in a bouquet? They look so delicate ...and would brighten up a spot inside!

Oh, well that explains every thing. I think I know what you are talking about, just never heard it called that! Sometimes I’m like the new kid on the block!LOL!

[MEG33]

Just use the same link as your picture in table background=.
I got frustrated looking for the right background and tried it..It just happened to work..The picture is square and the subject pretty centered..so that helped tremendously to make it work.
My next option would have been to crop a small area out of the background of the picture.
I use this site for cropping.

I don’t usually cut the cosmos for indoors. I like seeing them
growing. This variety is very tall...some of them taller
than me, and the leaves almost look like carrot tops. I had
never had them before last year, but really enjoy seeing them
bloom now.

[MEG33]

PS of course you treat the picture link as any background..cellpadding=
etc.

[MEG33]

Oh my..That must be quite a show indeed!

[luvie]

Thank you, Jaycee! Here is another of my garden flowers...
a shasta daisy with a "visitor"

[MEG33]

Great shot! Another lovely sight..I am so glad I asked and you responded!!

[luvie]

I'm glad you enjoyed! The garden has been looking really
good since we got all that rain.

[MEG33]

Summer rain is wonderful..

[MEG33]

It’s dinnertime and I have prepared nothing..
Have a great evening.

[luvie]

It was awesome. Hate for that weather pattern to stop...
now it’s getting hot again. *sigh*

A Very Musical Tuesday

A Very Musical Tuesday

Thank You, Jaycee. Music is my Life.
You Would NEVER Believe what happened to me today. I was sitting in the park, practicing my bass guitar.
It was Sunset, and I was alone
Suddenly a car pulled up, and FOUR youts got out, brandishing BASEBALL BATS!
They were walking in my direction.
I calmly unplugged the bass from the amp, and stood up, with legs astride, wielding the huge, long-necked instrument over my head like a battle axe, and stood perfectly still, staring them in the face.
Like a flock of birds, they all turned at once and headed in the other direction down into the glades, probably to torment some poor alligator.
Then I put my instruments in my car and proceeded to my next lesson.
Never aim a bass guitar unless yoiu intend to USE it.
Love,
