What's Your Marital Status?

I joined a thingy online today (http://www.travellerspoint.com/) and I had to laugh when I got to the question in the Profile about marital status. There was a drop-down list with these choices:

• (blank)
• Single
• De Facto
• Partnered
• Engaged
• Married
• Divorced
• Desperate

I thought it was pretty funny, but on the other hand, it does say something about life these days.

Speaking of getting married, we are looking forward to a wedding this weekend. I wanted to give the bride a piece of my mother-in-law's lovely pottery, but I didn't know which piece, so I sent this photo to the bride and asked her which one she liked.
Ain't technology great??

Today's Nature Walk

After lunch at church I talked Gary into going to Joe Pool Lake with me for a while. The weather was lovely--especially after so much rain. The birds at the lake:

• Eastern Bluebird
• American Crow
• American Coot
• Mallard
• Red-winged Blackbirds
• a rust and buff colored bird I couldn't identify
• two other birds I heard but couldn't identify

Plus mourning and Inca doves in the back yard.


I did get a couple of nice butterfly photos, and there are still some wildflowers, but I wasn't able to identify this one--6 foot stems!
