Morning! Just saw your picture Karen, and was reminded of a visit my husband and I made when living in Belgium. We went to Beaumont-Hamel, France, for Remembrance Day. When we arrived, we were given a sprig of artificial Forget-Me-Not to pin to our lapels. It brought back a rush of memory for me. I had forgotten that in Newfoundland it was the flower we used for remembrance. I love that little flower!

Here is a link to the story about Beaumont-Hamel and Memorial Day in Newfoundland if anyone is interested.

Gazania, Teddy was 27. I had him for almost 7 years. I rode him on our trails behind the farm where he lived. He was in great shape most of the time I had him. He developed COPD last year and I could still ride him in the fall, winter and spring. But this spring he developed cancer, so I retired him to live happily with his 10 friends in their 33 acre pasture. It is a 100 acre farm with about 40 horses on it. I never would have thought I would be back riding horses at my age (64) but it has been so much fun. I have a really nice group of friends and one is letting me ride her horse when she can't come out. I'm grateful for that. Teddy was a character. He loved people and coffeecake! :) He had a lot of personality and was a favorite on the farm. He will be missed for sure. Thanks for asking about him. He liked a good roll in the mud. :) And he was just a very handsome boy.

Gazania, I didn't know anything about Richard Teague before you just told us, but I looked him up and he was an extraordinary guy! So interesting and a subject I know absolutely nothing about. It's funny how something like a car, an everyday item, could have such an interesting and crazy kind of existence. I don't think I will look at another car in the same way ever again. Of course I knew people designed cars, but I never knew what all went into that process. Fascinating. And to think your cute little Pacer started it all for me. Thanks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_A._Teague

Gazania and Nicole, your bugs are amazing looking! They really don't look real! Great colors too. I was just so happy this afternoon to look at my yard and see so much color.

Last year I ordered broom plant seeds off Ebay(not available locally). Loose seeds in a ziplock. They sprouted quickly & I recognized them as clover. I kindly told the seller he'd made a mistake. He sent me several commercially packaged seed packets to make up for it of Red Lupine seeds from China. Nothing on the packet was in English. Just the packet was "interesting"....:0)....and whats sprouted so far is a deep pink. :0) I'm thrilled just to have these from our transaction!

No great close-ups with the ipad yet, especially on a windy day, but it's quicker and easier than using the camera. lol!

Here's some more info on luna moths. I agree with Glenda. I think they're beautiful and rather rare to the human eye in this area. Sadly, because of their size, roaming cats are often attracted to them as a tasty tid-bit.
