Perky Award from Shydub

I got this "Perky Award" from Shydub of "My Solitude and Serenity" who has a very preky blog herself. Thank you Shydub for this very Perky award . I appreciate the thought.


For those of you who don't know (haha) the webster dictionary says PERKY means briskly; self-assured; jaunty; cheerful.

I now pass this award on to:
Random Ramblings
Mama Flo's Place

TEENY TINY DRAGON?

Found this strange creature perched on the side of the house. I was standing on the porch looking up at it. It looked like it was getting ready to pounce on me. This is actually a Moth called a Spotted Apatelodes. My tongue doesn't work that way so I'll just call it a Dragon Moth!

Lilly, my Welch Corgi, takes the squeekers out of all her toys! One example.
