A thing of beauty is a joy for everits loveliness increases, it will never pass into nothingness
but still will keep a bower quiet for us,
and a sleep full of sweet dreams, health, and quiet breathing ....
~ John Keats
My darlings I pray that each day carries a "Thing of Beauty" for you.
Miss you all lots and lots...

A sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm. How lovely to hear from you - keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as always. You are one of the loveliest ladies I've ever encountered!! Ciao, bella!
Dearest Duchess, what pretty flowers. Things have greatly improved in the countryside, mostly due to the wonderful sunshine. Sending you lots of love xx
Haven't been for a little while.... always such an oasis to come and visit.
Your royal site reminds me... I just finished watching the other evening (for the umpteenth time) the Windsor Castle BBC DVD set on the royal family. I love that series. I don't own it but I take it from the library often.
What beautiful flowers and a lovely cake....so refreshing!!!!

Hello beautiful Duchess,
I absolutely love this beautiful inspirational quote. It really made me think, and as I pondered I felt peaceful and calm. A thing of beauty that does not pass into nothingness...this that you speak of is of the utmost importance in life. It is always so wonderful to visit you here and to be reminded of the more important things in life. That cake is so pretty by the way, I would like to have it for my 27th birthday which is on July 1st. :):)
xoxoxo
