AZALEA CARPET -

AFTER A NIGHT OF HARD RAINS - MOST OF THE BLOOMS HAVE BECOME A COLORFUL CARPET - FOR SOME REASON, THIS CAME TO MIND. ***************************************************************** Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend. A real friend is someone who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. True friends are like diamonds, precious and rare. A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself. It takes a long time to grow an old friend. ~~ Author Unknown ~~ MANY THANKS AND LOVE SENT TO ALL MY IPERNITY FRIENDS
