what, prettier than the Star War's Thread????? noway!

LOL. Well, only 'slightly'. How's that? ;-)

:-) I haven't localed the pix from Stan Hywet & "us's".. but I didn't go to the butterfly house with you that day! I stayed & cleanup from lunch.. if you or amy have a few pix to post that would be great

We didn't go to the butterfly house either, we went on a tour of the mansion....which was fabulous! I wish we'd have had more time to see the butterflies and also the play that evening. So much to do and so little time. :-(

Good morning, NnB

I remember that butterfly poem. Thanks for re-posting it.

[JustAmy]

Beautiful thread, Dolly.

I haven't had time to read it but the graphics are wonderful.

I didn't make it to the Butterfly House when we were there last year. We ran out of time. :(

I have to do some boring stuff today but I hope to be back later.

Thank you for today's thread.

[Mama_Bear]

Don't work to hard. :)

Well, I doubt that is likely to happen. I'm still sitting here in my robe at the computer, neglecting my chores for this morning....but it is only 8:30 on the left coast, the day is young yet. I'd much rather play here on this pretty butterfly thread.

ugh..um gawa...

[ help me!! ]

Oh I thought that you also took in the conservatory.. I recall Amy's knees were hurting her. I got to the SH about a dozen times last year. This year they closed it Jan - March. I am in withdrawal. I love the grounds in winter.

Actually you all know I am teasing about the star war's thread.. It was one of my first threads & I was detemined to learn by digging in. I got the HTML skeleton from either Dutchess or aquamarine .. I asked for dark with light letters.. and I didn't yet know about our friend blockquote. I would love to try something like that again (and prolly will) now that I have a little more skill level.

It was NOT meant to be a sweet little thread but just more bold... as were the movies..I am really not the sweet thread poster of the lot, as you know.. the rest of you do it all too well.

well need to leave now.. later all

I am really not the sweet thread poster of the lot, as you know.. the rest of you do it all too well.

Well, if you say so. But if you keep posting 'sweet' threads like this, you might just have to revise your opinion of yourself. ;-)

As I recall, your Star Wars post had 'character' and your design fit the theme well. I'm not much of a Star Wars fan, but I enjoyed it. I admire you for jumping in with both feet. But I think we all inwardly cringe a bit when we recall our very first posts here. I don't even want to go back and look at mine!

Have a good day, sistah. As much as I hate to leave the thread, I have GOT to. TTYL

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, isn't that lovely!?! And how appropriate for today's thread!

[MEG33]

;) I just remembered that butterfly!

[Mama_Bear]

Okay, I'm procrastinating, I know. This has nothing to do with butterflies, but today is March 15th, so......

Beware the Ides of March!

The ominous warning, "Beware the Ides of March," originated with the Roman
ruler, Julius Caesar, who was assassinated on the Ides of March - March 15, 44
B.C.E. If you've heard the ominous warning, then it's most likely due to William
Shakespeare and his play, Julius Caesar.

The warning itself was made famous in Shakespeare's play on Julius Caesar,
when an unidentified soothsayer tells Caesar, who is on his way to the Senate
(and his death), "Beware the ides of March." Caesar replies, "He is a dreamer;
let us leave him. Pass."

Now I shall go and get my work done. :-)

A Florida Butterfly

This is such a wonderful thread, and I'm tickled I posted my first picture on this particular thread most of all.

My daughter insists on calling them "flutterflies" because she says they OBVIOUSLY have nothing to do with butter.

She raised monarchs with her class but they released them into the wild. Her current kick is to raise and breed praying mantids. We're waiting for the third generation to hatch. Unfortunately mantids only eat live food so we also had to start breeding fruit flies and crickets...

I hate to dampen the enthusiasm of bright children but enough is enough!

[MEG33]

(((((((freema))))))

[MEG33]

LOL!

[Chanticleer]

We tried raising crickets when my kids had frogs and turtles. It's great when they get loose in the house and serenade you all night long!

[MEG33]

I really must get to work! BBL

What a beautiful presentation of this lovely subject!
We so appreciate all the efforts you make to delight us, Dolly,
day in and day out.
