Melodye Shore July 4, 2012 at 2:25 pm YES!! Now that you’ve embarked on a new journey, venturing further and wider, I’m guessing you’ll discover some treasures of your own. 🙂

Melodye Shore July 4, 2012 at 2:28 pm Gardenias have a very strong, unmistakable fragrance. I love to crush old pedals between my fingers…
