I just found your beautiful blog, and enjoyed it. I blog from the opposite corner of the USA so it is fun to see what is happening in your part of the world. I don't blog all nature, but I'm doing it more and more all the time.
Elizabeth, thank you! I am so glad that you have enjoyed this blog. I'll have to come see what wonders the Lord has brought to your corner of the USA. I do hope you will come visit me here again!
