Bumble bee moth

 This bumble bee moth has been visiting my flowers a lot lately. He looks like a small hummingbird. His wings are mostly clear, but also look like a hummingbirds wings. Very interesting!

 

A Luna moth greeted us this morning. So beautiful!

Farmer's Market Haul

 Went to the Farmer's Market in Effingham today, got homegrown veggies and melons, flowers, cinnamon apple rolls and cherry pie. That's about all I accomplished today, as I have an ear infection in both ears. I had to get antibiotics...We were invited to a customer appreciation/birthday celebration at Blair's processing in Louisville tonight. I really wanted to go, but no dice. Bill went though and brought home some delicious food for me, thank you Hope Horath, so thoughtful of you!

 

It HOT

 The heat index is 121° right now and the wind speed is 1 mph..

 

Happy 31st Anniversary to us

 Happy 31st anniversary to my wonderful, kind, thoughtful, caring and hilarious husband, Bill Halterman today. Love you so much and love doing life with you, it's a new adventure everyday!

 

A little friend

I have a little friend visiting me outside today. I know he's just here for the salt, but he's very pretty!

 

Today's funny

 

Baby blue birds

 We had quite a thunder boomer an hour ago, now there is part of a rainbow! Also, our little bluebird babies are getting restless. It won't be long and they will leave the nest.

 

What a strange looking sky tonight! This is the actual color.

Scopes Monkey aTrial Re-enactment

 A re-enactment of the Scope's Monkry trial was performed in Bryan Park in Salem today. For those who are not local, William Jennings Bryan was born in Salem, Illinois and ran for president three times, also lost three times. He was the prosecutor in this case. Scopes was accused of teaching evolution to his students, which went against the Bible. He was defended by the famous Clarence Darrow.The trial was eventually held outside as it was July and extremely hot. It was the first trial broadcast nationally on radio 100 years ago this month. As soon as the play started it began raining and rained for an hour and a half. The rain ended as soon as the play was over! Me and my dear friend Teresa Dalton sat in the rain under an umbrella and got drenched. Everyone else stayed too. We then went to El Patron for some delicious Mexican food. We had a nice long visit. Quite the interesting day!

 

July Red Hat meeting

 Had lunch with my Red Hat sisters today! We played sharades, played (sang) patriotic song games and had a great time as always.

Trip to Farmer's market

 Made a nice haul at the Effingham Farmers Market ngham Farmer's market today!

 

Lightening bugs

 A few lightening bugs that I managed to catch as they were signaling to their contenders. There are really lots of them right now. They didn't cooperate very well with my picture taking...Anyway, it sure is quiet around here since our young people were put on an 8:00 curfew after some of them were damaging property around town, including breaking a huge plate glass window on our large antique shop. Shame on them!

 

Red shades

 Excuse the hair, it's hot and I don't care, bet you didn't know I was a poet. Anyway.....I love these red sunglasses! That is all.

 

 

Summer Solstice
