Who's juvenile now?

Gram - they really like the native milkweed and the swamp milkweed here.

Anita - sounds like a direct quote from Michael Jackson.

Andy, it looks like a Grackle to me.

Funny Victor. I used to love Michael Jackson... oh well.

I hope the Grackle is okay after his pop.

Uh.... huh?

Rice Crispies??

Oh. eh.

We got almost 2 tenths of an inch of rain today. Now it's clear, warm and still. The mosquitoes are coming out, I may have to go in, lol.
My Catbirds must have chicks because I see them dropping dirty diapers around the yard. The birds are having a field day in the Mulberry tree. My Strawberries are safe now.
I've had a few native Milkweed plants for years, never saw a caterpillar on them.

I LOVE mulberries. We had a 20 foot tree on the property I grew up on. My sisters and I would go out in the morning and pluck the mulberries for our cereal. YUM!!!

I love the berries - hate the trees!! What a mess! They are also almost indestructible! Victor - I don't think Michael would warn them...

Anita - he would if he did not want to share...

ahhhhh - said the spider to the fly

Could someone tell me if this is Jupiter next to the moon? Taken at sunset, looking west a few nights ago. This is always the first star I see in the evening.

My money's on Venus.

Here ya go guys.. http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/ataglance

You know we went outside to look at that last night, but we were fascinated by a plane flying over that had a plane RIGHT behind it following it. We figured it was a military thing.

Or a mating thing. Venus is usually in the western sky just after sunset and is normally the brightest thing other than the moon.

Yay! We have sky watchers here!!! I knew gardening was for me. The coolest people are gardeners.

I thought I was going to be an Astronomer for a while. Actually had more Astronomy books than Engineering books. I have lost interest in it some but still appreciate it.

I think it's very interesting too. Discovery had a few specials last night - they are great to watch in High Def! Probably why I love all the Star Trek/Star Gate shows!

I wanted to be the three AAAs: Astronomer, Architect, Artist. I guess It's not too late!

Of course as a kid, aside from a baseball player, I wanted to be an Astronaut. Mainly just to drink Tang. I love architecture too.

It's never too late

hmmm - Tang - I love that. I should see if they still sell it.

Tang! I used to drink Tang all the time!

It was certainly popular when I was a kid.

It was a staple when camping with the family as kids

Al, those fast moving 'planes' were the International space station and the shuttle Atlantis. It was all over the news yesterday and today.
The woman astronaut up there is a local girl. She's coming home after 6 months. Think she's ready? lol.
OK, Venus. I knew it was a planet. Thanks.

I don't believe in astronomy. Libra traits just don't apply to me, or maybe they do. I'm just not sure.

Dave, You're thinking Astrology. Astronomy is all scientific.

Astrology wise...im Cancer the Crab. All of the traits apply to me, on the Chinese Chart im the Rat and all are true there also. It kinda freaks me out a bit, cause even my family agrees.

Gee, a crabby rat. How unlucky.

I'm a Libra and a monkey, which basically means I'm nuts.

Capricorn and Tiger and I put more stock in reading coffee grounds.

Me too....they tell me my plants are going to be big and beautiful!

Mine said the same thing! Right before I threw them into the garden to help make it come true.

I'm an aquarian and a snake!!! How sad is that - those of you that know me know how much I love snakes!!!!

I'm a sociologist - so I think reality is socially constructed. As far as I am concerned, you can "socially construct" any combination you want. I choose Aquarian and dragon :-)

Hello! I'm Jan from Earth. I'm a human being (most of the time).

Construct any reality we want?? Here we go again with CZJ!!

Funny Jan!
