I love the "Conflicted" series. I might have to go find that tree sometime and give it a hug.
"Winter seems to have kept its pants on"
Best line I've read in a very long time!!!!
A great sentence about winter keeping it's pants! Here in northern Wisconsin it has been so strange to go outside on a bare sidewalk. I don't miss the ice but a good snow cover is necessary for holding tanks & landscaping.
Nice to have you visit my blog - interesting that Blogger & Explorer are not friends. Though I have been using Firefox for months & the image loading problems just started during the holidays. Thank you for the feedback. Hope Blogger corrects things asap.
Enjoy the warm weather!
