Hi Nixy,

Lovely! I’m still waiting for our cherry trees to bloom-sigh. Be thankful it’s a mock cherry- ours have fruit that falls and stains the sidewalk and anything underneath.

To me this week was easier…hmmm, what does that say about me?

Hi, Nixy. Sorry I missed last week. I’ve been catching up on this week’s a little late, and think it’s interesting to see how everyone else tackled this little challenge. So many great pieces. Loved yours.

Those insidious cherries! Bad, bad flowers. Loved it, Ms Valentine!

You paint a beautiful picture Nixy. But much like the weeping willow tree, the roots get into the home and clog up the drain. Then the lovely willow loses its wispy romantic ambiance.

Wow, yes, very much like a poem. Loved it.

I found this week’s topic difficult too, even though at first I didn’t think I would.

Lovely Nixy.

When I read it out aloud it was like a poem. Almost moved me to tears. But then I’ve alwaybeen a romantic at heart.
