I’ve been somewhat distracted since yesterday hence my blossom photo, of a Dogs’ Tooth Violet, isn’t the best but I still quite like it.
You’re probably wondering what could possibly have distracted me! Well, you could call it a blossoming because yesterday a whole new grandson came into my world and I am so happy I don’t know what to do with myself!

Congratulations! No wonder you are distracted 🙂
Bless you Kathy! It woud be lovely to see some posts on Verbal Diarists once you have finished A363!
