ReplyDeleteThank you very much! You listed a blog I don't post on very often though. Would it be ok to do this on my Chez Aspie blog where I post a few times a week? xo
ReplyDeleteWhoops! This turned into a bit of a task. I think I got confused. I've changed the link. I really like that pic of the deer. I've never seen so many on a deer trail. Thanks for pointing out I'd posted the wrong link.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this sweet award, I'm posting about it later and got one for you :)
ReplyDeleteNadine,
