Did you like the wilted rose?
Mine is Angel, please come and see.
Learned another new word today.

What a great word filled with so many meanings. Interesting and poetic post.
thanks for this new word, aisling.
the cottage is dreamy.
Love learning a new word right of the bat, in Round 10. A lovely painting, and this morning as I was reading my Bible (The One Year Bible ~ Read through the Bible in One Year) Joseph had many dreams….and they came true!!!
Neat word for A. I like your vision of where your house should be. I like that little stream and the cascading flower garden to view it. My “A” for ABC Wednesday.
