and you inherit whatever your eyes

  1. Lovely. Paul Gruchow talks about a prairie landscape being like a great Persian carpet. Magnificence seems like the perfect word.

    Thank you for your magnificent reply. I will have to read some Paul Gruchow.

    Live your current inheritance; your love of the land.
