I seem to be in my "It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind" phase...
I put my blog back to "Beside a babbling brook" blog. It looks like, we can change the name of our blog. But..........

Old sayings..... Colloquialisms.... I love them!!!! I believe that "Heavens to Betsy!" is a Southern saying. But growing up, here in the North, I heard it as "Heavens to Betsy, and 8 hands around." ✨✨✨✨ Have you ever heard that...? With the "8 hands around" added?

-happy sigh- Isn't that the most precious illustration? Mother and children playing in the crisp Autumn air..... An Apple Pie cooling on the window sill..... A pumpkin for decoration.... On a table inside, books, a cup of coffee, writing paper waiting to become a note to a friend....

"Go, sit upon the lofty hill, And turn your eyes around, Where waving woods and waters wild Do hymn an autumn sound. The summer sun is faint on them— The summer flowers depart— Sit still— as all transform’d to stone, Except your musing heart.” ~~Elizabeth Barrett Browing

beautiful dress!!!!
Nope, that 8 hands around is new to me. To be honest...Ideally enjoy ALL the graphics you share on your blog.
Well, so you DID get your name back. You sure are a computer tech! I have never heard of this 8 Hands around, and I am old! As usual, such appropriate pics!
I never heard that 8 hands part.
I love that poem!!!
The illustration is lovely. I'm looking forward to autumn, but for now I'm enjoying these late summer days. X
Lovely illustrations! And so far, keeping up with your name changes. The name you have fits you, I think.
Love the quote at the end. Beautiful. About sayings, how about "heavens to Mergatroyd"? Heard that a lot on tv growing up. What in tarnation?? Another fave. You're a fun blogger, you know that? 😄
I have never heard the add-on to Heavens to Betsy. lol...I love your blog, my friend...but you know that! Hugs- Diana
I have never heard "and eight hands around" and now I simply must know what that means! xoxo
