Happy blogiversary!!!!
Thank you!
Lovely selection of photos! I’m particularly partial to the chickadee. Happy blogiversary. Your post made me wonder when I started mine – April of 2010, which would be 15 years ago, however, I took a 7 year hiatus when the words failed me and life changed a lot. I revived it in January of last year now that I’m in a happier head space. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise!
My pleasure to share, thanks for your presence here. 🙂
Congratulations on your 12th, Eliza! Your posts are always a pleasure to view. Your love of nature, flower arranging and photography shine through in every post. ❤️👏🏻😄
