IT'S EVEN TOO RAINY FOR DRAGON SLAYERS

I learn a new trick on the computer today. I was looking for a suitable picture of a dragon slayer that was public Domain but only found one  dragon slayer picture on a postal stamp and  so I thought that  instead I'd use my own Dragon Wing Begonia that sits by my front door.  Close enough,  but the slayer is still miles away...... and while I was playing with the photo I even discovered how to type on the picture quite by accident. Now I'll be playing with this some more when I have time but first I have to bake some soft molasses cookies for hubby since it's such a dreary day.



Thanks for coming by and stay warm and dry.

    I would like a nice gloomy day to sit and eat soft molasses cookies. My favorite by the way. Your flowers are enjoying the rain.
    I am looking forward to a nice rainy day...in November if I am lucky. Our rainy season is in February. That is why it is so pretty where you and Kim live and why you have such beautiful Peony bushes. Stay warm.

    That is a pretty begonia! Sadly most of my flowers didn't do as well this year so I didn't take pics of them. Hubby assured me he was watering them and when I checked after they were limp and brown they were dry as the desert. So I told him no way had he watered them. He said yes he did - he watered the ones in the back! Ummm - what about the ones in the front. Big silence and then said he forgot about those. :( Oh well, there's always next year right! I hope all is going well with you! You're always so, so busy with the farm and all! Take care!

    Love the flowers. I would love to learn how to type over a picture. I could use some new skills.
    soft molasses cookies remind me of my gram oh how tasty that dough is.

    I love begonias and I love soft molasses cookies! Had three for breakfast this morning with an orange and coffee ... certainly not homemade - But were very good

    Why were you looking for a picture of a dragon slayer?

    That's pretty funny and substituting your Begonia is Even funnier. haaa?

    That's a nice way for me to go to sleep thinking of begonias and dragon slayers ... I like dragons though so boo hiss on the slayer

    This is one of my very favourite flowers. I love it! Thanks! Here, they are also called Angel-Wing Begonias. Same...still love them!
    Have you looked on PhotoBucket for images? Sometimes I utilize them for images.
    Have a good week! Hugs.

    Molasses Crinkles are my husband's favorite cookie, too, but it's still to warm to bake here. Love your begonia. Sarah
