Flowers, Protests, Signs and Stained Glass

Please click on "The Daily Puppy". Buzz needs you...........

What georgeous weather we've been having here in Newnan, Georgia!! I was out and about a good deal this week and I love the beautiful flowers that are blooming everywhere and the fact that we can all get outdoors again (and back to capri's and flip flops!).

Today I have to go to the doctor for more blood work. I'm a person who pretty much despises going to the doctor and lately feel like I live from one medical appointment to the next. It's autopilot these days. I find that I listen to Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" a lot these days where she sings about clouds and ice cream ant not knowing life at all...........

Tomorrow's "Friday Shoot-Out" subject is : MY HOMETOWN NATIVE FOODS AND RESTURANTS.
Please join us if you haven't..........our "gang" will be spotlighting foods, resturants and watering holes in our town. I can't wait to see everyone's snaphots.....Friday has become one of my favorite days of the week for more than the obvious usual reason.

A close up of a beautiful white miniature Azalea that I saw yesterday.....


A close up of a "Pride Of Mobile" Azalea that I saw. I'm orginally from Mobile and whenever these bloom it brings back so many childhood memorie's. There is a big area there called The Azalea Trail that is a place of great beauty when in bloom.....


I was in town yesterday delivering lunches when I went by City Hall and saw the crowd protesting the stimulus plan and yet more spending. I spoke to this lady who said that she home schools her children and was teaching them about government so she brought them out for an interactive lesson. It seems to me that right now we are calling ALL spending "stimulas spending" and that phrase seems a tad desperate me.........


Protester's lined the outside with signs. Read Our Lips............





A sign in the Alpha and Omega house for youth. Don't you wish that you really could charge $5.00 per whine? I could take a lil vacation to see GingerV in Rio with that money. It would probably only take a couple of weeks if I got to collect it per whine (if our kiddos are reading this, yes of course I mean you, lol)......


A close up shot of some beautiful stained glass in one of our beautiful churches.....


The entire picture of the stained glass behind the baptistry in the above shot. WOW!! Isn't that awesome? I do so love stained glass...........


Thank you all for your lovely comments!! I'm sorry that I'm so incredibly behind on mine and answering your's. Just know that I read them all and they all make me smile and feel cared for. I never dreamed that when I began blogging that I would meet much wonderful and loving people from all around this beautiful world. I promise to catch up soon.

Thursday's....Bit of This, Bit of That

What a fantastic week I've been having. Busy yet peaceful. Productive yet quiet. Sunny days and warmer weather means that I can work more in my yard and garden, which I love.

I've learned this week that apparently all spending is stimulative. Calling this madness stimulative is a tad desperate don't you think? Okay, I'm going to get right off of that subject because if I think about it for too terribly long, it makes me a tad honery.


This is a picture May-May the panda that I took last summer at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washintgon D.C. It was a hot, hot day and her keeper had given her a frozen treat made of bits of fruit with pineapple juice. Look how sweet she looks! Made me want a Popsicle and I'm no Popsicle lover.




While out and about running errands on Tuesday, I saw this blackbird eating buns and bagels outside the Panera Bread On Bullsboro Drive. Shout out to the employees of Panera Bread for giving their day olds to the birdies for a treat.




A few intersting facts.......

**A deaf center-fielder for the Cincinatti Reds, William Hoy, created the signs for strikes and balls used in baseball today. (Speaking of baseball, I'm ready for Cousin 4's Rec Center baseball games to begin and for my beloved Atlanta Braves to start playing their home games).

**Leonard Da Vinci invented scissors.

**The oldest person to sign the Constitution was Benjamin Franklin at 81 years of age. The youngest was Jonathan Dayton of New Jersey at 26 years of age.

**Emily Dickinson, America's most famous female poet, published only seven of her poems during her lifetime. It was only after her death at age 56, that her almost 2000 poems were discovered and published.

**A cockroach can withstand 80 times more radiation that a human being. (I knew it!! Can anyone tell me what purpose a cockroach has? Does it have a purpose? Gross!! My ex-husband is a cockroach, but I digress..........)
