a leaf falls
the water ripples
nature's boat sails away

This is wonderful. madeleleine. I don't think you ever read our blogs here. Just to let you know. PD likes all her contest entries to have their names on the bottom, so next time you do one of her contests, you will have a better chance to get a nicer win by putting your name. THis deserved to be higher on the list. Congrats on the HM.
