    Beautiful bulbs and flowers! And I have mentioned this before, but I love that new book cover. If I went into a bookstore, I would buy it on the cover alone. A real winner. And I will be buying it.(<;

    And I love the photo of you and your husband with “Downton Abbey” in the background! Seeing that castle must’ve been SO exciting.
