Then there are the "other" abbreviations for screen names... like SCG for @superchemicalgirl or LS for me... Not everyone gets a SN (screen name) abbreviation, but something to be aware of as well.

I'm usually referred to as diva but, sometimes they write DD but, I am not a darling daughter. Yes, SCG probably because it's so long to write superchemicalgirl, a pharmacist not a druggy.

Hello all!
Cynthia lovely olive egg and the hen is just beautiful.

Well we finally got to peak color here in PA. Actually we were just past peak considering all the leaves that were down. I am hoping next year the temps will drop earlier so all the trees change at the same time or at least closer to each other. I was still able to get some lovelies yesterday. DH got home Friday evening and I drug him around with me yesterday morning for a few hours. I found a new area SCG and I can explore the next time she comes this way too.
