Jo's Boys' Butterflies :)

  • Eastern_black_swallowtail_3

    All butterfly photos were taken my the front yard's butterfly garden.

    Florida is a fabulous state for butterflies! In my butterfly garden you will daily see Cloudless Sulphur, Zebra Longwing (the official Florida State Butterfly), White Peacock, Gulf Fritillary, Monarch, Queen, Eastern Black Swallowtail, Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, and Giant Swallowtail butterflies... and some spring/summer/fall days you may see all of them!

    Enjoy the photos, but please remember that all are Copyright 2006 by the blog owner. Use is prohibited except for express permission.

The Convention Rocks!

Okay, everyone!  I *think* that I am the first person to post pictures of the magazine's booth at the convention.  I've checked Kris' Blog and I've checked Kate's Blog and I've checked Jen's Blog and since they're all staying on-site and their computers at the host hotel are totally the slowest computers *ever* and since I'm going home after the festivities I think I'm the first one to post pictures! 

But here's our booth:

Dsc00579

Jen and Kate are in the middle under the magazine's sign and Kris and her husband are on either side of them, so from left to right you have Kris, Kate, Jen and Kris' husband. 

Can I just say that I'm exhausted and that my throat is already sore from talking a ton last night?  There are so many people here - more people than I have ever seen before at this time during the convention- it is just amazing.  If the number of people at the convention has any correlation with the number of new folks entering homeschooling -well - homeschooling is popular, folks! 

Here's a better picture of the the lovely folks, once again:
