I would never have guessed this soft, lovely flower is related to the carrot, Carolyn!!!!

Thanks for the information on this GORGEOUS floral and LOVE your composition, My Friend!<:))

I will check out the site you provided. We changed clocks a few weeks ago and I know it takes 'my internal clock' a few days to adjust.

I still haven't changed the clock in my truck. I had a new radio installed a few months ago and I can't figure out how to set the darn thing!(LOL)<:)) #9332088
