July 27 - Earrings my sister-in-law made

These are the earrings my sister-in-law made and gave to me. Really like the dragonfly between the paper bead and the round bead at the bottom. Will use this idea in the future (and probably often!).

We've had some pretty big dragonflies around here this summer. Some are as big as small birds. You can find pretty dragonfly photos at http://dragonflywebsite.com/dragonfly-slideshow.cfm

Around here at night we've had a lot of fireflies and now baby bats. Didn't know that the male fireflies fly around while looking for female fireflies who are on the ground. That was interesting...you can always learn something from somewhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC2OkCEdqU4
