But this photo took me back to my chilldhood in upstate New York, really country, a working dairy farm across the street. The wildflowers were truly wild! This post made me long for a visit home! Thanks so much, found you at ABC.

But I notice Moss has bounced out with its unearthly green; I love it! I am surprised, actually, that there is Moss here, it being so dry...<br /><br />I don't believe I've ever seen the pink posy at the top. I'd be interested in knowing what it is.Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.com
