Hi Everybody..
      Been thinking and planning setting up a garden in this wide open field I live in..one that will attract wildlife and also our native butterflies to the area.  We have many butterflies passing through already but want to see more, and perhaps they will stay in the area to reproduce if I provide them a place.  I ran across this film on the native butterflies of Florida...A lot of these pass through during the year... hope you enjoy it!!  GB

Merry Christmas Everybody!!!!!!!

I hope you have the best Christmas ever, and a very Happy New Year!!

God Bless The Children and Families of Sandy Hook School

I found this poem online and wish to share it for those who have lost a loved one at Sandy Hook Elementary ...God Bless you all.

                                              Light A Candle

Light a candle, 
see it glow, 
watch it dance, 
 when you feel low, 
think of me, 
think of light, 
I'll always be here, 
day or night, 
a candle flickers, 
out of sight, 
but in your heart, 
I still burn bright,
think not of sadness, 
that I'm not near, 
think of gladness, 
and joyous cheer, 
I have not left, 
I am not gone, 
I'm here to stay my little one, 
so when you light a candle and you see it glow and you watch it dance in your heart you'll know that I would never leave you even when you feel so blue I'm sitting up here with the Lord and now watching over you

Merry Christmas Everyone

To Everyone on earth I wish you a very Merry Christmas. During very rough times on earth, we should all join together in love for one another. Try to stop the violence which seems to be mounting around us, and strive to have peace in our hearts and spirits. So much has transpired lately with earthly disasters and disasters created by humans... some so hard to understand, and some we may never be able to grasp. My heart goes out to those who lost their children in the Sandy Hook Elementary School killings, so many young lives who will be missed greatly. It is far to hard at this time to even begin to understand why or even that this could have happened at all...I truly believe those little children are now in Gods loving arms.. where nothing or anyone can hurt them again...To the parents of these lovely children.. I send you hugs and blessings..that your hearts not harden but can still love and that you will heal in time.. never forgetting but being able to go on until you see your children again. I pray to God for peace and love to fill your hearts..it will take time. An educational site online has a tribute in photos and video if you so desire to see them Educational Site..photos and video of Sandy Hook To all my friends and family... Merry Christmas!!! Let us pray the world gains peace, that we as a people grow stronger in our Lord, with patience and understanding among ourselves... having a spirit of giving to our fellow man. Christmas to me isn't all about presents.. its about being with family and friends and remembering why we are here... that Jesus was born to take our sins away and allow us to learn more about him and ourselves.. to better ourselves for when we go to be with him..

God bless :)
