“If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with.”

In which Dorothy speaks like a real Midwestern girl....ending that sentence with a preposition.

my wednesday night class always shows the best vids!
DeleteWhat a wonderful backyard! Love those Berries!
ReplyDeleteThat story is perfect! And what a melodic voice she has.
ReplyDeleteYour leaves on the fence are beautiful. Are they a vine? We have an explosion of golden colors out our door, here in the land of the black oaks. I think we should plant some trees that turn red to add to the excitement.
It's race around Thursday...remember the unspoken and spoken needs of the QLCS in prayer as I motor around.
Love,
Di
I just want to reach through my screen and grab one of those blackberries. Beautiful pictures as always.
