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

Emma shared this with me today.

    Oh my, the hummingbird story really touched me this morning. I feel like that hummingbird so many times.

  9. That story is perfect! And what a melodic voice she has.

    Your 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
