Thank you! That vase is truly awesome!
I'm with you--I'd want to have it around all the time. I've plenty of ornaments I could use, but would need to find some led lights. Hmmmmm....

Do you have any idea how Groudle Glen got its name? I'm curious about groudle... It's quite a wonderful place! I wonder, if not a hobbit, who does live down that hole?

I love pairing winter branches with blue water or sky--and that is awesomely blue ocean.

But my favorite pic is...besides the vase...the one of the train. I love the view of that piece of land.

I'd better not let my Misty get wind of how Shaka's pills are being delivered. We just finished a course of pills--mainly by me poking them down her throat. The salmon method is much more civilized...and tasty for both!

But I am glad to hear that Shaka is improving. He does not look his age at all!
