A Haven for Vee

$ex in the Garden

Now that's an old ploy. The oldest one around. A garage nearby advertises using that one word in great big letters. The smaller font reads "Now that we have your attention." So, there you have it, two cheap shots in one week.

Actually, I do want to show you that very thing, but wait for the reveal.


Everything looks so much greener in the rain. The slugs are chowing down on the rhubarb, but I have the antidote. You do, too, now. Visit Leslie Land right *here* and look for "Death Spray."



Yup, it rained. The windows were washed thanks to John. Everything looks so much brighter now.

Okay, ready for the big reveal? I took this photo because my eyes are failing me and when this lovely, stylized insect (what is it?) flew by, I thought it the most enchanting thing and followed it. Turned out to be two its...er...not sure of pronoun case in this instance. Still, it's beautiful, right? Looks like a regular Fred Astaire of insects all dressed up in a tux.



Have a delightful Friday!

  2. -giggles- Never thought I'd see a Subject Line like that, here! Way to go Girl!

    And then, "she" finishes with... a beautiful winged creature... No, 2 beautiful winged creatures... "Caught in the act"...

    I love it! I totally love it!

    I also bet that by now, "she" is having 2nd thoughts about leaving this post up. Please don't, have 2nd thoughts I mean. Be Strong Dear! A bit of *breaking out* here and there, lets off a lot of pent up steam. Right?

    Hugs, hugs, hugs, hugs, hugs...

  3. Cool!

    They are so pretty. It does make for an odd looking "insect" when they are together like that, though.

  19. Hahaha, I accidentally took a picture of two insects humping last year! I was trying to do a closeup of a bloom and was surprised when I saw the bigger image on the computer!

    Love your aged white barn star! We got a very weathered red one that hasn't quite found a hanging home yet!

  21. Since you didn't enable comments on your post today, I just came here to comment. :) You know I am not going to say something nasty anyway. LOL. I knew we were kindred spirits, but the more I read the more I realize how much. I love Keith Green, too, and "Stained Glass" is such a powerful song. It is like "Rushing Wind" which is my favorite of KG's. Have never seen the Elizabeth K. Ross quote, but how appropriate and true. May we shine ever more brightly, even in the darkest place, (and you do) for Him! Thanks so much for that post and the song.

    Blessings,
    Christi
