Hi Scott. I'm happy for you that you got blooms. They are nice. Sorry to hear about the ants. Bugs are happening to alot of us right now. Mike started a thread on how do we each handle our bug problem. Hopefully many will reply and I can learn whats best to get rid of mine. I saw in your profile that your b-day was oct. 16th. Happy late Birthday. Yes ,I thought you were female. I set up hubbies account, then he had his stoke and he can't type, so I use it. I like your pics. Lonny (hubby) likes doubles, I like singles. I think they are prettier, I like the big blooms.Simpler and easyier to take care of. At least in my oppinion. Share all the pics you like. :) Kim

Before I forget HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TM. Here's what I came up with in reverse order. 5) Meadowlark, this took some time because I was trying to make some kind of Owl out of it. The lightbulb finally came on :). 4) House Sparrow 3) Starling 2) Woodpecker 1) This one I'm not sure of, is there a bird called a King Bird? That's my list, I hope I used all the letters and I hope I got them in right order LOL. Another fun trivia weekend, thanks TM. Annette

You notice there were no pictures of the beignets...we dove into the plate of them before I could think to snap a picture! Katkin, thank you for the plant name. They were prolific and pretty. If you can get a ride to Orlando, I'm planning to go back to N.O. later this year. I drive the interstates the whole way and I do the speed limit. Barbcoleus, yes, the tent city is a sad reminder. I realize there are those affected by Katrina that worked hard to drag themselves out of the hole they were in and got back to work and back to living. But, there are some people that just fall through the cracks, don't know how to get help, or are not as competent or capable. Sometimes they do need a little push or extra helping hand. Obviously, ignoring them is not the thing to do. I'm not saying we should fork over all our tax dollars to support them fully, but our government, THEIR government, should come together and do something to help get them into shelters, food programs, work training programs, something. And, by something, I don't mean just chase them off with a big stick!
