….would still bloom in December….maybe. These were still blooming outside the Second Cup on Mt. Pleasant today – Dec 7, 2011. I am in awe, obviously, that we still have these precious flowers when we really should be burying their shrubs under a foot or two of snow. Maybe I should change my name to […]
Another heading in the photo scavenger hunt that I’m in is communication. This is what I posted for that heading. Yes, they are tap shoes – not that well used, but a little over exposed, oh well!!
