We have had a hard freeze but some flowers remain. I love seeing the wild violets tucked down in the grass.<br />I will miss the butterflies and bees. They are so beautiful!<br />Always hard for me to say goodbye to the bugs.<br />Stay strong,<br />SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731821301433751344.post-46938127452525547202009-10-27T06:35:56.081+00:002009-10-27T06:35:56.081+00:00good evening cheryl,
