Wonderful idioms. I so enjoyed them and the pictures are great and go with them just perfectly :) Aloha
Good job on these! I was away so I'll have to catch up next week!
Oh my GOD!! I can't believe I almost missed this post. I've been having some computer issues the past three days, AND I'm trying to catch up after the two weeks holliday in France. I'm in over my head, I hope you'll forgive me!
You did so well on these!! Your pictures tell a thousand words indeed, they're lovely and you pictured it real well! Thanks for playing!
Shame the eggs didn't hatch, better luck next time.
