It's not for lack of sleep, with us, this morning, simply exhausted from the, miserable humid HEAT. And I do mean MISERABLE. when we hit the sheets, last night, the temp was still in the, mid to high 80'S, and we, seldom if ever, use the AC, so we slept quite peacefully, on top of all bed coverings. BUT the humidity is awful. It was still over 80, inside the house this morning, with the humidity in the mid 80%.
GOOD MORNING, LOVE, HUGS & BLESSINGS, Ms. Pam, I pray YOU have a TREMENDOUSLY TASTY TUESDAY, and are having a TRANSFORMATIONAL WEEK, my friend...
Hi there my friend. I hope this note finds you staying cool. Its hot here. 100 degrees and windy. Yesterday it got up to 108. To hot and it isn't even summer yet. I'm staying in the house by the air conditioner. To hot to be outside. Well take care my friend, hugs Cheryl
Monarchs are magnificent. Did you also know that some Monarchs who leave the north (e.g. where I live) produce great grand kiddy Monarchs who settle and breed in the south
A nice male for you.
Next question, do you ever see Monarch Butterflies? Do you have any Milkweed plants? They look like this...
When Monarchs feed on milkweed, the caterpillars ingest toxins in the plant that make them poisonous to predators until they become adult butterflies. The plant will have pods on it that contain seeds.
This is what the pod looks like when it opens and the seeds fly away, all over the place. I have at least three envelopes full of seeds and many more pods to open soon. Let me know if you would like seeds. My neighbor, a teacher, always captures the caterpillars and watches them turn into a butterfly. This year we were both out of Milkweed because of the bad freeze a year ago in February. We both bought plants. I also bought 4 colors of seeds which I shared with others already not knowing how many seeds my plant would produce. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this lesson as I did not realize Monarchs covered such a large area.
I have never seen a Monarch, here, in Tennessee, but when I was young, knew of an area in Toronto, Canada, where they migrated to, in large numbers. Also, there are a number of different milkweed plants, because the milkweeds in Michigan don't look anything like your milkweeds, and those, here, in TN, don't look like either of those. All Monarchs migrate to an area in southern Mexico, from where they then migrate northward to various areas in the US & Canada. The trip northward, to their furthest extension, actually takes a number of generations to accomplish. Then after reaching their furthest area, they all migrate back to Mexico, and start all over again...
GOOD MORNING, LOVE, HUGS & BLESSINGS, Ms. Pam, I pray YOU have a MEANINGFULLY MANIACAL MONDAY, and a MAJESTIC WEEK to follow, my friend...
Does anyone have a telephone number for Sparks505, or know if Lee is OK? She hasn't answered my email and I am still worried about her. Thanks!

Like you, Pam, I'm in touch with school pals from 1953 (close to 70 years). We are widspread, some here in Canada, and England of course, and also New Zealand. We all all the same age as we won scholarships to a Grammar School. Nice to be able to keep in touch over the years. Hope your weekend is being good to you.
Good morning my friend, hope you are doing well. Another weekend upon us. We had lovely sunny weather all week and now the rain is supposed to be back today. At least I got the lawn mowed yesterday, really need to water but decided since it is going to rain might as well let Mother Nature do it for me lol... You take care of yourself and enjoy your weekend~~ hugs, debijo
I've got a couple of friends of 66 years, both, of whom, I met shortly after moving into the neighborhood I'd eventually grow up in. Tim, I met first, who lived right down the street from me, on his 4th birthday, and Dave, whom I met at school that same year. Have kept in touch with both ever since. In fact, all of our anniversaries are in the same month, exactly, 1 week apart, each. Tim & Pat's, the 3rd, Ours, the 10th, and Dave & Carol's the 17th, then there's my birthday the 4th week, on the 25th. We fill April pretty well, eh?...
GOOD MORNING, LOVE, HUGS & BLESSINGS, Ms. Pam, I pray YOU have a SATISFYINGLY SENSATIONAL SATURDAY, and are having a SPENDIFOROUS WEEKEND, my friend...
A nice male for you.
