Maybe it is the way my mind works. The Fruit that you pictured, what are those? They look rather like kiwis but not like the kiwis we have here in the states. I love learning about the flora and fauna of far away places.

Glad you are ok tho. Such a lovely photo of the butterfly, and the dress your granddaughter will wear. Please do show it to us on her. The little gingerbread house is quite fun I am sure.

What a lovely family you have.<br /><br />We had an earth tremor here in Ireland in 1984, I was pregnant on eldest daughter at the time and wasn't sure if she had delivered a massive kick or what was going on. Thankfully we're not on any fault lines, but with the way the weather is going and all these earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, something in in the offing. Hope the granddaughter has a fabulous time time at the formal, she'll be the belle of the ball anyhow in that dress.

(Georgia USA) It was very frightening! Glad you and yours are safe. I was not familiar with the feijoas, so I just read about it on google and saw a photo of the hedge....says the birds are attracted to the plant. I have many butterfly items in our home and your new painting is really stunning and a good compromise for you and your husband. I look forward to photos of your granddaughter in her lovely prom dress. The gingerbread house is a cute idea and I imagine the children LOVE it! Wishing you a nice week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
