It definitely brightened my (surrounded by brown dead things in NY) mood to see them.

Unfortunately, ...Raspberry freezer jam is awesome! Unfortunately, I can not prepare freezer jam because my hubby is allergic to fresh (uncooked) fruit. If I'm going to make jam, I obviously must make cooked jam. (not as yummy, but .....)<br /><br />Love the egret photos! You are right, he/she/it is so cute. Kind of sad, though. I, too, love herons. We see them around here fairly often - not the white ones, though.<br /><br />I can see how the pointsettas would give you a 'thrill' as you drive by! Their color is so vivid. I saw my first non-potted pointsetta last spring in Zambia - amazing plants (trees)!<br /><br />BTW....LOVE the quote!Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633714411687511297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-58865639227496295502012-02-03T08:48:10.609-08:002012-02-03T08:48:10.609-08:00I LUUUV raspberry jam!
