LightningStrikes

Still working on some computer glitches. WE had a powerful thunder and lightning storm and somehow my modem got fried. Thankfully, Tony was here within a couple hours after my call and he has everything pretty good. At least so far...now to try to get the Luna Moth online.

Luna Moth Discovery

June 21, 2008

It happened again late last night, maybe around 2 in the morning. This was the second time a Luna Moth flew inside through an open window. I wasn't sure what it was at first and thought it was a bat.
I didn't recognize it and am not sure if I have seen one before. But it was beautiful, even exotic. I took a picture with the digital but can't seem to download it but I will once I get someone to help. The computer is up and working somewhat but am still having some probs--like with the digital. Tony stopped by last night and he got some things up and running on the computer for me and corrected some of my mistakes. I'll post the Luna photo someday soon.
The Luna landed on the table and I was able to get a fairly decent photo. I was able to capture it with a towel and let it go back outside.
I checked out some facts about the moth on several web sites. Amazing creatures which live for only about a week.
It is a rainy Saturday but warm.

Yike!

It has been a crazy couple weeks.
Yike!
The weather was really hot, then it got cold. The garden didn't like that much. Now in the last couple days, we have had a cold temps, and a lot of rain but not as bad as some places in Iowa.
Earlier this week, the computer decided to give me big ones. I think it is working okay now, fingers crossed. But am still having some probs with the digital cam, maybe tommorow. Taz stopped by today--that was really cool to see him and sit and have a good talk. Tony also stopped by and helped to get this up and running. Jeepers, he got married in January. It's getting late, so this is it for now.
