Dear Colette it's so nice to have plans and dreams for this brand new year.I'm also longing to be out in my garden but at the moment there is not much to do but watch the melting snow.I'm already dreaming of the first soft springday.

Hello Colette-I wish you a very Happy New Year. I also have a long list of "to-do's". I just know it will take me longer than a year! First I must tend my roses...it is time to prune them in California. And after that I must start my long list.
ReplyDeleteSweet friend, I wish you a Happy New Year filled with many blessings for you and your family.
Hello Collete..wishing you a Happy New Year. Your photos belong in a magazine...gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove the wall of Jasmine...
Take care.
