  8. I don't think I've ever seen these, Jams. So beautiful, even in decline.

    I am having to apologize to everyone who visits my blog today looking for my WW post. When I signed in on Wordless Wednesday, I thought today was Wednesday! I pre-schedule my posts in advance, so mine will be up tomorrow. Unless I did that wrong, too! :-D
