Welcome...we're lucky to have you!!!
To live content with small means...to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion...to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich...to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly...to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart...to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, never hurry...in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious...grow up through the common...this is to be my symphony.
---William Henry Channing
Note: Words to live by. This poignant quote touches me more now than when I used it in my first book, Frugal Luxuries, Bantam Books, NY, NY, in 1997.

Tracey,
What an enchanting place. Thank you for inviting us by posting such lovely pictures. I do love springtime!
Blessings,
Gina
I am not sure what the flower is either. It looks similar to thistle which is really a weed, but the leaves look significantly different. I'm going to see if I can find it in my plant books!
I smiled all the way through this post. The girls looked like they were having a blast. All the pictures were so fun and beautiful! A lovely day out....happy belated Birthday Katie!! Blessings, Heather
