Butterflies & Peanutbutter bush

Heat & humidity down

Friday was a wonderful day for watching the butterflies. The heat & humidity was down and I think even they enjoyed the day much more.

<~~Side by side the older weathered butterfly with the fresh younger one. There are several hatchings here in the south. I guess there are a few good things about living in the hot climates.

In the heat of the day..........

This past weekend we (Mark,Brenda,TJ,Gail) spent all day Saturday in Burlington for the 2010 Wesleyan State Softball Tournament. It was 97 degrees, sunny, don't know what the heat index was but I would say about 10 degrees cooler than hell. It was stinkin' hot!! The team played at 10 am (won), noon (won), 2 pm (won), and 4 pm (lost). Some of the younger guys ended up playing 6/7 games that day because one team was short so CWC helped fill the team so they could participate. By the 4th(6th) game our guys were exhausted and could have won that last game if they hadn't "loaned" out some of the guys. Oh well, they took 2nd place and mostly had a good time. No one was injured so I would say it was a successful tournament.

Temptation

The smell of peppered turkey breast in the a.m. & of course he got some!

Weekend event

This past weekend we attended Chris and Jessica Jones wedding. Don’t you love the sound of that, Jessica Jones (she won’t let me call her JJ)? Like Peter Parker or Doctor Doom or Pepper Potts. Hey, maybe Stan Lee can use that name for a new character. Jessica Jones, woman of action!! (For those who saw the writing on the vehicle). Any way, the wedding, it was beautiful!! Very simple but sooooo elegant. For us it was a Chris & Jessica celebration, but also a Salem Chapel / JLE / Uwharrie trip reunion and wish we could have spent more time with them. Of course I didn’t take any pictures. I was busy talking to people and eating cake. Which was very yummy. But I wish I would have taken some pictures, I miss you guys, and I miss the TV nites, trips on the trails and camping with you.

Godspeed to all of you.

The moth

This unusual moth was hangin’ out on the side of the house. Yup, that boarded, nothing to do but take pics of bugs. When it’s this stinkin’ hot what can you do?? I hate summer time in the south. Ok, I’m done fussin’……………………………for now.
