JUST CAN'T HELP MYSELF

With a tiny break in the heat and humidity - rejoicing over just 94 degree weather, believe it or not - the shutterbug has me and I just can't help myself. 


This beautiful butterfly was attracted to a rug I had laid out on the back porch to shake out.  I have no idea what may have been the attraction, but he spent hours flitting back and forth to it.


The next picture is not particularly great, but it was a rare sighting of two mama turkey hens with a combined 12 young fledglings in the church yard.   They were running as fast as they could away from us, but you can still see about 10 of them in the picture.


Dragon flies move so fast and are so hard to get a focused shot of.  This is just one of about 180 shots I took.  Patience, patience, patience paid off. 


I never tire of looking at the beautiful creatures God made.  Get your camera and go enjoy a bug or something.


PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS

I try to always keep onions on hand and especially like to buy lots of them when they are on sale.  However, it doesn't take long for them to go bad, so I freeze them for quick use later.  Just chop and saute' in a bit of bacon grease, olive oil or just plain water.  Once they are cool, place spoon fulls on small pieces of wax paper and loosely place in a Rubbermaid type sealed container.  Make sure you label the container.




 
You'll always be ready to throw a casserole together.
