TCHH ~ Profile Comment ~ James

Thank you for swapping with me! ChrisAnne

Two of my favorite scriptures from James:

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires

Hello, I hope you had a great weekend? I am your partner for this swap BL ~ Butterfly Color Series #2 (Yellow)

Yellow Monarch

Yellow Monarch Among the two species of Monarch butterflies, the one in North America differs from the one you will find in South America, but the Caribbean is home to both species. You can also see them in Australia, New Zealand, and several Islands lying between Australia and Tahiti, in parts of Europe and in Hawaii. The caterpillar may eat its shed skin in four of its five molts in the stages referred to as “instar”

• In the fifth instar, 10 to 12 hours before shedding its skin for the fifth and last time, the Monarch caterpillar spins a silk for it to hang. After some initial wriggling the pupa skin hardens into a protective covering for the evolving monarch butterfly inside it.

• Depending on the temperatures in summer, the caterpillar stage continues for 9 to 14 days

• The caterpillar is a voracious eater, capable of consuming an entire milkweed leaf in less than five minutes. They gain about 2700 times their original weight, and in the process, excrete an abundant quantity of “frass” (or waste).

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly Papilio glaucus, the eastern tiger swallowtail, is a species of swallowtail butterfly native to eastern North America. It is one of the most familiar butterflies in the eastern United States, where it is common in many different habitats.

Corrected: Swap: BL ~ Butterfly Color Series #2 (Yellow) Hello! I've chosen 3 butterflies, Sleepy Orange, Orange-barred Sulphur, Two-tailed Swallowtail.

Sleepy Orange - Upperside of wings orange in both sexes; orange-yellow form rare. Forewing with small black cell spot. Male with sharply defined black borders on outer and costal margins; female borders not so well-defined. In winter form, underside of hindwing is brick red, brown, or tan; in summer form it is orange-yellow.

Orange-barred Sulphur - Upperside of male bright yellow-orange; forewing has red-orange bar and hindwing has red-orange outer margin. The two forms of the female, one off-white and the other yellow-orange, are much larger than the male. Both have upperside of forewing with solid black cell spot and a submarginal row of broken, angled black smudges. Outer half of hindwing of yellow form is red-orange.

Two-tailed Swallowtail - This large yellow and black striped butterfly is truly a gift from nature. It has two tails and beautiful blue markings scaling across the hind wings. This butterfly is lovely and graceful, yet it is so rarely enjoyed up close and personal. In 2001, the Two-tailed Swallowtail made its way into history; it officially became the State Butterfly of Arizona.

APDG ~ Summer Fruits 🍒🍉🍓

I thought about my childhood and what fruits we had then during the Summer. It was not like it is today with all sorts of "exotic" fruits available year round.

We picked blackberries in the wild keeping a keen eye out for rattlesnakes, who like to lurk among the briars waiting for an unwary bird to get too close.

We grew strawberries for ourselves and to sell. We made a game of throwing the rotten ones at each other while we picked (Mother was NOT amused).

We would eat watermelon straight from the field until we were about to burst. Somehow they were always so cool inside no matter how hot the day.

Hope you enjoyed this little trip to by-gone-days. SuZi
