Moon Vine Flower

If I had to pick a favorite vine, I guess it would have to be the Moon Vine. The moon vine is in the same family as the morning glory, only the moon vine blooms in the early evening. The vine had large heart shaped leaves, and the bloom in every bit of 7 inches in diameter. You can actually watch it open up just about dusk. The real treat is not only the beauty to the eye, but the wonderful fragrance. The blooms also attract night insects, especially the sphinx moth, sometimes called hawk moth or hummingbird moth. They hover around the flowers and suck the nector from the flower just as hummingbirds do, they are quite a sight to see.

Memories of Gary Puckett & the Union Gap


Oh My! I went to a concert Monday Night and saw the ONE AND ONLY..GARY PUCKETT! and the UNION GAP..From the time I was 14 on I was boy crazy! haha...I loved YOUNG GIRL, WOMAN WOMAN, This GIRL is a Woman Now, ect..ect..as with all girls my age, Gary Puckett, was the MAN..haha. Everytime I heard one of his songs on the radio, I would think back to those times, those words, that voice..ahhhhhh, wonderful memories..I was sitting 5 rows from the stage and even though he is 63 now,,,yes 63, He is one sexy man! I felt like a young girl again. Just watching him sing and reliving those songs were such a thrill for me. Anyway, after the show, he signed pics and cd's and he took a picture with me and I thought I'd died and went to heaven..haha
