It's been awhile...

Hi
This weekend is Irene hurricane time...It's massive...evacuations from Mass to Carolinas.
But I want to tell you a Hummingbird tidbit...the other day around  lunchtime the hummers were flying around quite erratically - six to eight of them on the scene at once, then approximately an hour later we were shook by that 5.8 earthquate centered in VA & felt from Canada to the Carolinas.  I've heard numerous times that animals sense quates before they happen.

Back to my card entry:
SU: W. White cs base...dsp-nautical expedition
SU: sail away stamp & birthday
SU: cherry cobler twine square knots & silver ribbon
Spellbinders dies.

Have a safe and enjoyable weekend
Donna
