Green on the barn, the shed, and the porch roof. I like that it all goes together.

ReplyDeleteI love, love, love that green roof! Oh, so pretty! And I also adore the quote you mentioned - how it has all the truth in the world. A writer cannot go without mentioning the simplicity & beauty in nature. Great post! Blessings to you!

ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment on my post. I appreciated it so much. You made me feel so much better. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
