Sorry—that last post was too wintry, and lowers my spirits! (Though the photo was taken in July.) Here's a Monet orchard to get us back on track.
Happy poetry month!

I had no clue this was poetry month!
ReplyDeleteI noticed you added a quote-of-the-month section, and this first quote is very funny!
I love Monet; last year I saw two of his painting called "Lilies" at the MOMA in New York City. They were simply amazing!
Thanks for sharing!
