And often the simplest little string hung over a tree or bush makes me smile the most. They really make me feel happy and hopeful and fill me with a sense of camraderie ; )Kim Rempelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010163424578410675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-56134763279471103172011-12-01T20:09:02.054-08:002011-12-01T20:09:02.054-08:00Hi Barbara,

I like your use of the watercolours.<br /><br />It is clever of us to string twinkling, colourful lights around at this dark time of year. We are having a hard time getting out of bed these days... it is still slightly dark even when I drop the kids off at school at 9 a.m.<br /><br />Thanks for your sweet comment.<br />Nicki XONickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333869924278210044noreply@blogger.com
