Hmmm..... I wonder if I turned off the coffee pot

Oh Well. Gotta hurry to get in line to VOTE!

November 4, 2008

This very large ant kept going back into its hole, then quickly out again..... over and over again, touching its face as if it had forgotten something really important. OCD maybe? Still undecided?

If we were ants..... what might the last days of campaigning look like?

So glad we are a bit more civilised. Happy Voting!

Bursting-heart..... a native woodland plant of Virginia (Euonymus americanus)

An unusual accent of foliage and flower

for lovers of native plant gardens

The autumn seedheads are a striking red & orange sight but are poisonous if ingested. Shown in this image are the small pastel blossoms that are a creamy mix of yellow, white & pink with a tinge of green. The little red ant enjoyed the nectar so much that it lingered for quite some time ;0)
