Writing with a blend of curiosity, discovery, and spirituality, I invite the reader-viewer along a trail of words and images; thoughtfully selected and graciously given.
Mr. Havenga:
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's fair that you sprung this on the class with no advanced warning. However I found a friend who knows all the answers; and #9 has three names. I will wait until all other entries are in before submitting my test.
Respectfully,
Master Botanist
I should have payed attention in class!!!! I must get Joann King down here to help me.

This is why we are subscribing to Father Nature.

My husband asked if we click on the pictures will it take us to more
in-depth information? That would make it too easy. : )
This is going to be my daughters assignment for tomorrow.
I LOVE IT!!!
