The vibrant fuschia color just doesn't look like New Brunswick! <BR/><BR/>This is a heart-warming story of Daphne finding you. It reminds me of reincarnation stories, that a soul looks for its parents, chooses them. As Sandy says, she found you, how lucky you both are.<BR/><BR/>It's a great post for Earth Day, because you aren't just nodding to it, but you're sharing a glimpse of how you take a deeper interest in a particular member of our Nature family, you've actually got a relationship with this shrub. It's inspiring. I just love coming here.<BR/><BR/>Now I'm going over to Max's to see the bee . . . bzzzzzRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034897510911253920.post-39562682313644620512008-04-22T23:11:00.000-03:002008-04-22T23:11:00.000-03:00Oh, I was admiring my Daphne today, too!
