Maybe it's that bumper crop mentality spilling over--don't let anything go to waste so why not share? I've got the same kind of evidence at home that Rose has of one blogger's generosity: orange cosmos. You know, I enjoy reading other kinds of blogs, but I feel more at home when invited into someone's garden. walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-71244510658221429662010-11-29T22:58:36.487-06:002010-11-29T22:58:36.487-06:00A very nice blog posting Tina.
