Beautiful! From my garden. Sorry, but I can’t resist this. Pictures from Pixabay Remind you of a song? Anyway, enough frivolities. Another week gone by in a flash. This weather has been quite changeable. We were about to go out for a walk tonight, but I hadn’t quite finished work. Ten minutes later and it… Continue reading Friday Roundup #23-20
