  5. That is a shot that should be framed. Its simplicity speaks of the part of the country that you live in. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful shot on such a cold cloudy day in my area.

  17. It's so beautiful. I would love to find those grapes. I've looked in my area and I think they think that antique grapes are made from rubber here.......ugh. I just love your taste. Wenda Scott

  32. Nicely done! Love the pictures!!!

    I'm sorry I'm missing some of your posts lately. But I'm trying to spend very little time in front of the computer. I have too much pain if I stay here for too long. So, I'm trying to take it easy now, since there's only 4 weeks to go. :-)

    Wishing you a blessed weekend.
