In reading these exquisite words I felt flooded with emotion. A wondrous place as the picture shows and you caught its magic and rendered it in words with infinite sensitivity and skill. Want to sit there with you ... Love, Margherita  |

Thank you Arctic Wind, soon the cold arctic winds will be blowing here where I am, so I feel have to praise the lovely lingering summer as much as possible to make it last even longer. We are into a lovely spell here, an Indian summer in fact. Heart2Heart |
