Keeping My Fingers Crossed

I'm hopeful that this entry gets posted.

I typed a nice entry but it was lost in the posting process.  That's never happened to me before.  I've read in other journals that it happens and I have felt fortunate that I have avoided that mishap but today, I joined the ranks of the frustrated and ticked-off!

Today has been a pretty good day.  We did get some rain but not the storm that was predicted.  Our TV weather people over state their weather forecasts so much that it is a joke.  They call it STORM WATCH and we end up getting 1/2 inch or the storm goes around us all together.  LOL 

I went shopping today and bought something that I thought was cute.  When I got home, Dennis, Cari and her boyfriend, Sam teased me and told me it was something an old lady would buy and that it was 'dorky'.    Dorky?  Should I be offended?  LOL  I'm not.  I don't care what they think, I like it and I think it looks cute out in the garden.  I think the thing that shocked them was that I actually bought something for the garden.  I never buy anything for the garden.  It's Dennis' pride and joy.  He's totally in charge of it and I just admire it.   Do you want to see what it is?   OK, I'll post a picture....  see below:

The picture that was supposed to be here is now at the top of the page.  For some reason it would not load from this place.

It's the yellow butterfly in with the snapdragons.  I think the yellow adds some ZIP to the pot of flowers.  It is a point of interest or a focal point as the designers would say.  LOL  Anyway, it's out there and I'm enjoying it.  We will just see how long that butterfly has a home in my back yard.  Something tells me that it will not be long.

I can't see it, all I got was the red cross in the box! I've just emailed you to tell you why you lost your entry. The journals went down for about half an hour so you must have tried to post it while it was down. Another AOL glitch! Jeannette xx

Sorry about losing your entry.  It is so frustrating!  Tell everyone that being a "dork" is so much more fun than being cool...!  I think it looks really cute; and I am a self-proclaimed "dork"!  Jae

Just call me Dorky cuz I think the butterfly is pretty and I'd totally buy it :)
The posting this is a pain, I've learned the hard way to save my entries as I go along, every few paragraphs......I've had it happen one to many times!

Hope when I get to the next entries your new found friend is still in the garden. :)

Pooh Hugs,
