WISH we too had fertile soil and of course your climate is also less harsh.<br />Sending you hugs for the weekend. I've finished my 2nd Fleur de Lys crocheted curtain and also completed the performance with our choir for a large Joint Civic Luncheon on St. Patrick's Day. Feeling happy and now up to the performance in the theatre on May 6 and 7...<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-41042023982538999292017-03-14T11:20:43.556+00:002017-03-14T11:20:43.556+00:00Such beautiful clear photos.
