Thanks. It's good to be back. Spring is opening my senses again as sit in hope for all of the plants that I have nursed through the droughts to come back to life. So far it's looking good for the plants but the drought is still scaring me.
Thank you, next! Welcome back! :)
This is a beautiful series, Agnes! I wanted to stop by and say hello and I hope you are doing well. I will take more time to browse your page tomorrow.
Thank you, Debbie and Ali. :)
Beautiful Agnes
