Can't Get Enough Of The Sky..

I can't seem to get enough of the sunsets..Lately, they are so different..Thought you might enjoy a couple of pictures..They just fascinate me..Our patio door squeaks and my husband told the kids, all I hear is the door opening and closing and I know where your mother is..taking more pictures.

Now Here is An Interesting Site..

Every now and then I get links to a very interesting site..and I like to share it..

Now what do you think this picture is?
No, not tennis balls with mold..It is the tiny suckers on tentacles of squid..The miniscule suction cups are lined with fangs that help grab the squids prey..Go to LiveScience and read all their interesting finds..I have to admit, some of these web sites are the greatest and so interesting..

Interesting Piece of News..

This story came from Yahoo News..
After Hurricane Ike, in Caplen, Texas..this man returned home to find his beachfront home destroyed..In the clean up, found a fossil tooth in the debris..weighing 6lbs..
They believe it is from a Columbian Mammoth, that was common in
North America, 10,000 years ago..
Some of you probably read this story, but I had to put it up, for those that didn't..I found it so interesting..

Shadow Shot Sunday,

Hey Harriet, every week I will do a Halloween
shadow..I can't help myself..This little guy gave a big smile for his picture...Next is a serious shot, table in the living room corner, looked pretty..
then I go after the bee..Now, this took courage..
I kept getting closer and closer to this bee and having a conversation while doing so..Telling him, he will go on my blog for Hey Harriets Shadow Shot..He was very accommodating and stayed still till the picture was taken..then took off.
I am beginning to think I have a little Dr. Dolittle in me.. but, I talk to insects. If I got stung in the process, you might have read something different..See you all next week, God willing..

Another Tag..

My Dear friend, Any Occasion Boutique, has tagged me..Now this tag is about 6 secrets about myself..I don't think I have any, since I have been tagged a few times..so I will now tell you things about my teenage years..Poor mom/dad..they knew I was kind of devilish..
1. Dad drove an 18 wheeler and sometime would leave the trailer off and bring the rig home and put in our driveway..Well, my girlfriend was over and I told her I could drive it..so down we went and I got that beautiful Mack rig going back and forth in the driveway..wouldn't go on the road, I wasn't that dumb. Mom/Dad never heard a thing..Many, many years later, I told them about it..

2. In high school, bored in study hall, I had some black wax and put it on my front teeth..every time someone would go by in the hall, since I was in the last desk, I would give a big smile..anyone coming in study hall I would do the same thing..A few of the kids got in trouble laughing, but never turned me in..

3. Didn't want to go to Mass on Sunday..so my sister and I went to the Sweet Shoppe and got sodas with our collection money..Would you believe, my father goes by in the truck and looks right at me sipping soda..Will not go into what happened when we got home..Just know, I was at Mass from then on..

4. Another time, Dad used his bosses car to come home in, instead of the truck..
Well, I had another friend visiting and asked if they would like to go for a ride..
We were flying down by the beach and I had to make a turn..no brakes..well we were pulling the emergency brake and here comes the Chief of Police..I waved at him..remember this was small town USA and he knew me..he waved back..I got home safe, but was a bit shaken..Especially, since the Chief of Police knew dad very well..he never told my father..bless his soul.

5. My sister was 4 years older than me and many a time I would tag along..She was a good soul..Well, I would make her boyfriends let me drive their cars or else I would tell mom I wanted to go to the movies with them..Yes, I was a pain..But I did learn to drive at a very young age..

6. I think the worse we did was shine lights in cars that were parked at the beach at night..Yes, my friends and I would hit all the hot spots and do this..it was the thing to do ..Tell me, this doesn't sound like something on Happy Days? We did have a few cars chase us..but they never got us and I guess I can thank God for that..I might not be here writing the 6 secrets of my life...

Well my dear friend..Any Occasion Boutique, I did the best I can with this tag..
I don't dare tag another person..it might be my last blog..

Fun Decoration For Halloween.

Yesterday, I showed you the decorations in the house for Halloween..Now, I just had to share these two free patterns with you from Bernat..

They are made with Bernat yarn that is "glow in the dark"..are they the cutest? My daughter and I will try and make a couple of ghost, even if we don't have the glow in the dark yarn..
Thought it was a fun project and wanted to share with those that didn't get a chance to see the patterns..Even if you don't knit/crochet..use material and do the same thing..Have fun..

The Great Shadow Shot Sunday..

As the angels were chatting amongst themselves on the deck, they left a lovely shadow..Okay, I lied, I put them in a circle..but when I get desperate, I get carried away.
Now, I decide to change curtains and do a little cleaning..and there before me is a lovely shadow..
Don't look too hard, this is before I cleaned..
But my last shot is really quite nice, the plant hanging gave a great picture..Hey Harriet has Shadow Shot Sunday, every week..go to her blog and visit, even join in. All the pictures, from bloggers, are really wonderful and actually like works of art..
My Dear Hey Harriet, will see you again, next week..

My Little Friend..

Was happy to get a picture of this Great Spangled Fritillary , before it flew away..The only reason I know the name of this butterfly, I have a book in front of me telling me about it..It shows up in late June, early September..We use to have many Monarchs, but I saw only a couple this year..There is something happy about a butterfly..watching them go from flower to flower. I consider myself lucky to get a few pictures of this one..

We Start A Mercury Retrograde Today..

Just a short reminder we will now be going into a Mercury Retrograde, 23 degrees Libra..it will last till October 15th and then go direct..
This is a time things can get a little mixed up..Any new contracts..read very carefully, some people back their computers up..anything new you buy, might cause a problem..just check and recheck..
If you have to redo someting, this is a good time..They always say anything with "re" in front of the word is what you should work with..
It doesn't always affect everyone..all depends on your Astrology chart and where Mercury sits..
This is something I like to keep a check on..Just for my own personal reasons..Heck, I have had many things go wrong before and Mercury wasn't in retrograde. Like I always say," you rule the stars, the stars don't rule you".
I find this a very interesting planet to watch..

Fall Is In The Air..

Once you start seeing Goldenrod, Daisy Fleabane and Purple Aster..you know it is near the end of summer..I think, I named them correctly..The Aster/Daisy are so alike..
I enjoy the beauty, but always makes me feel a bit sad to see summer is almost over.. Not a big fan of winter.
We are starting to get a chill in the air..As much as I am not happy about winter coming, these wild flowers are a pretty site and worth seeing..

Wonderful Shadow Shot Sunday...

Shadow Shot Sunday is here and
Our Dear Hey Harriet has started a fun time..I am always looking for shadows..My first picture is a bush against the front of the house..then I went to my favorite place, the back deck..I was leaning on the railings, thinking where I would go next and started to laugh..can you see my head between the barn and bush?
Now, that is a shot that had to be taken..and may I say, I was laughing so loud my husband had to check on me..For my grand finale..I dragged a toy stuffed rabbit and sat him on a can..Tell me that isn't cute? There is no stopping me and I have no shame.. Hey Harriet, something has happened to me with this Shadow Shot Sunday..I am out of control and enjoying every minute of it..see you next week.

Interesting News.

People look over the wreck of a wooden ship uncovered by Hurricane Ike on a beach on Fort Morgan Road in Fort Morgan, Ala., Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2008. Archeologists say the wreck could be that of a two-masted Civil War schooner that ran aground in 1862 or another ship from some 70 years later. The wreck had already been partially uncovered when Hurricane Camille cleared away sand in 1969. Researchers at the time identified it as the Monticello, a battleship that partially burned when it crashed trying to get past the U.S. Navy and into Mobile Bay during the Civil War. (AP Photo/Press-Register, Guy Busby)

Thought this was very interesting and kind of sad..Can you imagine what a story this ship could tell..

Fingerprint Friday..

Now here is an interesting Fingerprint. A Dragonfly.
I just happened to catch this one and he stayed very patiently for me to get his picture..Isn't he interesting? The picture isn't the best, but you can see him..
There was a blue one flying all over the place, but wouldn't stop for a picture..
Many people use Dragonflies to control the mosquito population..I notice every year there are more and more..all different colors/sizes..



A very interesting Fingerprint and one that has an important job..but then again...everything on this earth, has an important job..
Pampering Beki has Fingerprint Friday, every week..Such a great idea..try and join in. I find it makes you look at so many things with more respect..Things we take for granted..
