Sparkling Season

Silence in the woods today,
A cool crisp breeze blows the fall leaves away.
A sparkle in the the sky I see,
Then another floating right by me.
A cool crisp breeze blows the fall leaves away.
A sparkle in the the sky I see,
Then another floating right by me.
Tis the first snow of the year you see,
That leaves these woods a glow.
So the fairy's of the Fairy Knowel
can awake to fresh fallen snow.
That leaves these woods a glow.
So the fairy's of the Fairy Knowel
can awake to fresh fallen snow.

Nature's Guardian Angel
By Josephine Wall
Gliding through the heavens, natures guardian angel keeps a watchful eye on the earth an her children, rejuvenating and replenishing where needed.
As she passes high above, the fruits of her labors can be reflected in her billowing cloak.
Beauty abounds under her loving and vigilant care.
This was my Birthday card from my hubby
Look closely at her to see all her splendor..

Semper Fi
Hi All This is a copy of a letter from my MM group shared by another MM whose son was serving in the Middle East.
May God Bless and protect all our troops Until their return !!

Marine Moms Save a Marine...…Well sort of. HAD to share this with you all.We've had a huge Support Our Troops drive going and have been sending our Marines and other soldiers care packages. We divided the packages into food products, male personal items and female personal items.One of our Moms (names have been deleted to protect the innocent!) sent us this message.
This is a little long (I apologize), but please make read - promise you will enjoy it!
To top off my son's email he was able to call yesterday!!! I've just been in absolutely the BEST mood. Not only did he call, but we were able to talk for a long time and it was so wonderful. He shared so many stories and had my laughing so hard. He wanted me to thank all his "Moms" and to let ya'll know that he and his fire team received their care packages and they were a wonderful morale booster. He said all of them had the Channel 11 footballs in their care package and they were out in the open area throwing the footballs around and other Marines were asking, "Hey where did ya'll get the footballs?" My son said at first they would all respond, "The Houston Marine Moms!". He said after awhile they were all laughing and they would just say "Our Moms". He said they call the footballs their WMD's. I asked why and he said that when the lights go out at night they all throw them really hard at each other and just have the best time. He was laughing so hard sharing these stories with me. He had me rolling. He told me how wonderful the care packages were and wanted me to tell everyone thank you. He said that one guy we'll call "Marine X" did get a girl care package and everyone was giving him a hard time. My son said, "Marine X got some really nice smelling lotion and everyone really likes it, so everytime he goes to sleep they steal it from him." I told my son I was really sorry about the mistake, and if he wanted I would send Marine X another package. He told me not to worry about Marine X because everytime I send something to him Marine X thinks it's for him too. He said when my husband and I sent the last care package Marine X came over to his cot picked up the box, started fishing through it, and said, "What'd we get this time?" ) My son said they had the most fun with Marine X's package. He said he wasn't sure who we were sending the pack to, but the panties were size 20, and he said one of the guys got on top of the humvee and jumped off with the panties over his head and yelled, "Look at me, I'm an Airborne Ranger!!!!". He said one of the guys attached the panties to an antenna and it blew in the wind like a windsock. He said it entertained them for quite awhile. Then of course, they had the tampons. When he brought this up my imagination was just running wild, but I let him continue. My son said they had to go on a mission and Marine X wanted the chapstick and lotion for the trip. He grabbed a bunch of the items out of his care package and got in the humvee. As luck would have it he grabbed the tampons, and My son said everyone was teasing him about "not forgetting his feminine hygiene products". My son said things were going well, and then the convoy was ambushed. He said a Marine in the convoy was shot. He said the wound was pretty clean, but it was deep. He said they were administering first aid but couldn't get the bleeding to slow down, and someone said, "Hey use Marine X's tampons". My son said they put the tampon in the wound. At this point my son profoundly told me, "Mom did you know that tampons expand?" ) "Well, yeah!". They successfully slowed the bleeding and got the guy medical attention. When they went to check on him later the surgeon told them, "You guys saved his life". If you hadn't stopped that bleeding he would have bled to death. My son said, "Mom, the tampons sent by the Marine Moms by mistake saved a Marines life." At this point I asked him, "Well what did you do with the rest of the tampons?" He said, "Oh, we divided them up and we all have them in our flak jackets, and I kept two for our first aid kit". I am absolutely amazed by the ingenuity of our Marines, and can't believe that something that started out as a mistake ended up saving someone's life. My sister said she doesn't believe in mistakes. She said that God had a plan all along. She believes that female care package was sent to Marine X to save our Marine. Either way ladies our efforts have boosted the morale of many Marines, provided much needed items for our troops, AND saved the lives of a Marine! God bless each of you for your efforts and hard work, and God bless our Marines!
May God Bless and protect all our troops Until their return !!

I came upon this gathering on my way to the servants entrance of the cellars..

Queen Bee Cell
Hi All, Well it is that time of year again. Time to work my hives and prepare them for winter time.. So a few days before Halloween I did the job and found a special suprprize. A perfect Queen cell left for me to see.. These are rare fully intact. Usually when you pull the frames from the hive for cleaning and removal they get torn up.. But not his time.. I thought I would share this remarkable accomplishment of mother nature. Few have seen this other than bee-keepers .
A queen cell is made special to born a Queen bee. The little workers prepare it and then a egg is laided by the current Queen as she is going to leave the hive to find new digs or she is failing in health and the worker bees know it.. They treat this larva very special*~* the " nurse bees" ( they can not fly) feed the Queen bee larva royal jelly and special hormones.. Then there you have it she crawls down the little tunnel to the end and the nurse bees chew her out.
( You can see that tunnel in the photo)
Anyway This is a true wonder of nature..
