I would have jumped back in the car and headed home!<br />Of course that's because I'd be trying to beat the school bus home lol! You have inspired me to do a little searching for a vintage machine.

We had a japonica bush once, the birds loved the purple berries on it, but they did foul purple, splodgy poos on the path and it trod into the house on the childrens' feet.I know, too much info! I got rid of it ! :)Beverleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13890150929382264192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-2944994251966590652012-03-28T11:10:42.456-04:002012-03-28T11:10:42.456-04:00Thanks so much for that wonderful tour!!

UGH! The allergies!! As soon as the beautiful dogwoods pop, I'm in miseryville. The south is just beautiful in the spring, but it is certainly the allergy belt of the US.<br /><br />I love to read your blog each day. You are just so genuine - like a friend just talking to us.
