...I agree with Melissa 100%!! I feel the same way. <br /><br />Spring is a time for tilling the soil, turning under the remnants of the previous year and making way for the new to emerge. Nothing un-thrifty about that. <br /><br />Your new banner is giving me serious summer fever, btw!!

In any event, I never can catch up to the long list of 'must-do' before the next day's list is added to it. I find myself needing a bit of a break from 'work' and head over here to be inspired and to just linger in your words. So many times I leave feeling so refreshed or end my day with your perfectly written thoughts dancing in my head. You truly are divine, and I can't wait to share a bowl of soup with you one day while we discuss all the ways we can 'save the world'! :)<br />Bisous,<br />MelissaSimply Mel {Reverie}https://www.blogger.com/profile/15881462293605864150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-41716078843300080422010-03-25T20:11:24.069-04:002010-03-25T20:11:24.069-04:00i loved reading this, your words spoke to me and t...i loved reading this, your words spoke to me and to doubts and fears! love your header and if those are your bikes we have something in common!nadiahttp://laporterouge.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-76474373627052352782010-03-24T19:41:57.342-04:002010-03-24T19:41:57.342-04:00I love your new banner!
