I remember flying over the mountains of Italy seeing snow caps for the first time. At least after that trip to Rome i was able to see real snow caps in Turkey.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835777645235116330.post-69574220108886136182012-01-16T00:57:09.685+01:002012-01-16T00:57:09.685+01:00I know how discouraging the lack of moisture can b...I know how discouraging the lack of moisture can be... here's hoping you'll get that needed rain real soon...

I'm a little surprised that the plants mostly seem to pull through even when it doesn't rain enough. But I expect that spring blooms will be nothing to write hope about unless we get a few good downpours. <br /><br />Happy bloom day!Town Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777461911856383480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835777645235116330.post-47483390331971815172012-01-15T19:59:21.810+01:002012-01-15T19:59:21.810+01:00Happy GBBD, Yvonne.
