Birds

Birds are fascinating creatures. I love to watch them and listen to them. Although I couldn't hear the birds on Zibbet, I was able to do quite a bit of bird watching. Here are some of my favorites...

Trees

Lately, I've become fascinated by the amazing variety of intricate shapes and forms of trees. Like human fingerprints, no two are exactly alike. I don't think I'll ever grow weary of looking at trees, both in nature and in art. With trees on my mind, I went browsing through Zibbet and here are a few of the many wonderful items that I found featuring trees...

Are you ready for some football?

Fall is my favorite season for several reasons. In addition to cooler temperatures and the vibrant colors of fall foliage, I also enjoy keeping up with my favorite football teams. As a matter of fact, everyone in the family enjoys a good game of football except the cats. When the cheering starts, the cats run for cover!

We had a great football weekend--all of our favorite teams won! On Friday night, our hometown high school team, the Freeport Bulldogs, defeated their opponent by a score of 27-13. I was preparing for a craft show on Saturday so I didn't attend the game. However, my husband and our older son went and had a great time!

Saturday is college football day! I arrived home from my craft show in time to see most of the second half of the game between the Auburn Tigers (my college alma mater) and the Arkansas Razorbacks. And what a second half it was! My tigers took advantage of multiple turnovers and successfully converted them into touchdowns, defeating Arkansas 65 to 43! War Eagle!

Our football weekend concluded with the Miami Dolphins facing off against the Green Bay Packers. The score was tied at the end of regulation play 20-20. The Dolphins came away with the win in overtime by kicking a 44-yard field goal for a final score of 23-20!
