We would take strolls every opportunity we could get. It's great to be able to touch base with the connected gardens - and see what other people had growing/blooming. Very relaxing. Thanks for taking us along, with your afternoon stroll. :)Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.com
