I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this article Jennifer! Despite the fact that I would turn into a popsicle it makes me want to be there to see your landscape in person. Fabulous illustration of the point Jennifer. I love those rocks!!!
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
