I'm going back outside now...

So very beautiful!
You always see the beauty in the simple and that is your secret. Can I borrow your glasses?
Such beauty. I want to get myself some of that wild geranium - the name keeps popping up.
I especially like the blue flowers.
Lovely. Just lovely. Thanks for putting names to the faces!
I just read this article I thought you might also enjoy reading.
The Hippies Were Right!
Green homes? Organic food? Nature is good? Time to give the ol' tie-dyers some respect

Gorgeous photos!
Your blog is my favorite in the whole wide web....I wish you two were my neighbors!
MaryAnn has told what I planned to say: I wish you two were my neighbours : )
waiting and waiting for spring to flower and there they are, suddenly it all comes to view and my heart loves.
I love the blog that you have. I was wondering if you would link my blog to yours and in return I would do the same for your blog. If you want to, my site name is American Legends and the URL is:
www.americanlegends.blogspot.com
If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.
Thanks,
David
