Mary -- beautiful photos! I love lilacs but, unfortunately, out lilac tree came down. (sniff) So no more lilacs. I adore the photo of the tree with that little water barn. The only thing missing are the cows! I adore cows & have for the past 30+ years. I have photos of cows laying on the beach at Achill Island, Rep of Ireland, from when we lived in Ireland. Maybe you can take some photos of your cows?
Pat -- what a beautiful swap package you put together for your partner! Totally awesome! Love those pansies. And the bunny! I had a picture in my head of a flat wool bunny laying on top of a pc, & I thought that was a cool idea! Hah! And the doily is beautiful, too; I can't crochet that fine! You're handwork is amazing!
