Your lovely photo could just as easily been from the US midwest. I always love to see the old windmills of this type on farms. Great sunset too. Thanks for sharing!

I am so busy with the website I am getting done that I do not have much time to visit everyones blogs. So sorry about that, but I hope to be back into "normal" mode in a month or so, then I will have more time. :)
I do love that ribbon bish Max. What a beautiful flower it has on it. How well do you know wild flowers? I am looking for someone to help me identify some? If you do know someone, please ask them to contact me on macromail2 at vodamail dot co za.
