Halloween

Happy Halloween!

  If you are like me the only thing you hope for today are very few trick-or-treaters.

                                                            Hope my photo scared you!

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Donna.

Monarch Butterflies

When on a walk last month I saw fields upon fields with Monarch Butterflies.

I thought Monarchs were only out in the spring. After reading this article. I figured these are fourth generation Monarchs.

I agree with the article, "the most beautiful of all butterflies."

Dog Bed

Just like me, Mick made something for Poppins, a dog bed. Amie sent him an email with a photograph of the style she wanted. He purchased the legs, cut out of plywood the base and head board. He  stained everything and preset the screw holes so Amie could easily put it together.

There are two metal braces that hold the head board.

The bed was custom made to fit the dog bed. As you can see Poppins loves the bed.

Have you figured out that Poppins is very spoiled? Poppins has come a long way from the streets of LA.

Apple

Two days after the founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, died I went by the Apple store in Philadelphia. Really like that in my photo I can see the photo another bystander is taking with his iPhone and the comparison to the first Apple computer juxtaposed with the iPhone.

I got an iPad in July and became so hooked I had an iPhone by the end of the month.

All the press talks about is what will happen with the Apple products. Why can't the media simply talk about what his loss will be to his wife and four children?  Isn't that what's it all about, FAMILY.

Occupy Philadelphia

All the "Occupies" cost the cites a lot of money. This is just a small sampling of the police officers involved. 

Let the protest march begin. They were marching around and around and around City Hall.

Mostly young people & college students.

Amie, David and I were at Philadelphia City Hall on the first day of Philly's "Take Back Wall Street" protest. We went as site seer's only.

The make shift "Medical Center."

The "Sign Making" center. Amie and I really wanted to take part in a bit of sign crafting.

Today marks the one month anniversary of the protests. I agree with several of their issues. Hey, you never know, maybe some good will come out of this.
