Not sure how it went, probably a little dark. Picking blackberries we used to joke that you gave a drop of blood for every sweet berry. Life is like that.<br /><br />Loved your Buttermilk Falls pics.

Perhaps so fitting because, yes, in a garden it all began. Thank you for bringing us back to that place where His presence seeks us and we find ourselves in Him...the one who makes us Real. <br />Holley (Heart to Heart with Holley - http://holley.dayspring.com)Holley Gerthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768198758839306061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132096056708838052.post-25831601066493310402009-08-05T20:06:22.349-04:002009-08-05T20:06:22.349-04:00Thank you, Maria, for a lovely post.
