]]> Comment on Legacies by Steven http://amywink.com/2009/12/15/legacies/#comment-523 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 22:20:20 +0000 http://amywink.com/2009/12/15/legacies/#comment-523 Isn't it amazing how the animals in a family's life -- even the ones that might be described more as utilitarian than pet-like -- are remembered for so long afterwards? I still remember stories of a blind mule named Old Tobe that my grandmother described and how must have met his end close to 100 years ago. And my aunt still remembers fondly draft horses that used to help with the family's rice farming. Thanks for sharing these pictures. They're wonderful.

Those pups are precious! (I don't need one. I don't need one. I don't need one.) Everyone here in North Mississippi has had to embrace the mud. It's horrible. I'd almost rather it just freeze and stay frozen for a while. Oh my!!!!!!!!!!!!

He'll come around! The Capital City Men's Chorus is singing some of the words of Stopping By Woods set to music by Randall Thompson at our concert on December 13th! http://www.ccmcaustin.org/ Keeping my fingers crossed for frozen lakes and downy flakes...

]]> Comment on A Plague of Butterflies by Steven http://amywink.com/2009/11/25/a-plague-of-butterflies/#comment-349 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:25:26 +0000 http://amywink.com/2009/11/25/a-plague-of-butterflies/#comment-349 Fantastic photos of backyard flora and fauna! I miss our loquat tree -- we had it removed in a recent landscaping burst. It was too difficult to see around/through when backing out of our driveway, plus it was too close to another tree. I made loquat jam from the fruit a few years back. I even entered it in the state fair. I think I got 10th place in the Miscellaneous Tropical Fruit category... I think leaving it alone for the butterflies to enjoy is a fine thing to do. Fantastic photos of backyard flora and fauna! I miss our loquat tree — we had it removed in a recent landscaping burst.
