Hackberry Emperor
Asterocampa celtis
Seen sitting on a tomato in the garden. Lovely.
Notice the eye spots on forewing and hindwing. I think the “real” eyes are cool.

Approaching-50 mother of four. Thrifter. Content with lots of clothes bought for very little money. Loves retro. (That could be styles from the 40s and 50s. And sometimes stuff even older than that. And sometimes stuff from all time, all mixed up together!) Bluffs about decluttering but secretly loves STUFF. Goes through stages. Has standing and staring spells before rearranging the entire home. Just because. Tune in each day to see what new outfit comes home from G.W. Boutique next. (That's Goodwill, by the way.) Oh, and she owns a spoiled beagle named Annie. And this blog.   <div align="center"><a href="http://www.amothersjournal.com" title="A Mother's Journal ~ A Bit of Birdsong"><img src="http://www.innatelygray.com/images/abitofbirdsong_120_200.jpg" alt="A Mother's Journal ~ A Bit of Birdsong" style="border:none;" /></a></div>    
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

Hi Lynn,
It has been awhile since I have been able to visit and I’ve missed
your posts and conversation. As you have been busy with all your adventures, new school year,
planning,dreams filled with curious messages,I too have been living amidst a whirl wind of
events and activity. A new school year has begun, my Masters classes are becoming more challenging,
and housework-forget it! Thank goodness hubby is here to help! my prayers have always been for God’s will not mine…but lately I find myself praying for improved time management skills! Then I am reminded that He does not give us more than we can handle and I take a deep breath and begin again.
I have not updated my blog for over two weeks but I’ll get there too! Adventually it will all fall into
place. Catching up on what you have been up to was terrific. Have a fabulous week,
Diane M
Diane M, thanks for stopping in an catching up! Your classes do sound like a challenge, but a good one! I need better time management too, especially lately. I hope you have a lovely week as well! We’re nearly half way through at this point!

Hope you can pull this up. It is a birdhouse with mosaic added to the wood-made me think of your birdbaths.
Becky, that is SO gorgeous! I love it. I have always wanted to do a birdhouse, and have not done one yet. Thanks for sharing!
Dear Lynn,
What a beautiful fellow (or lady)! We don’t have Hackberry Emperors around here, but I’ve heard they’re in Missouri. Maybe we’ll have our own pictures to show soon.
Love,
Marqueta
Marqueta, They are pretty aren’t they? I’ll have to keep up closely with your move, because I am working on a package for you. xoxo
