Sometimes it jumps the banks and floods our whole yard.<br />I like the visual image of you sitting in the ditch, stitching. : )<br />I also jump the ditches when I quilt. It is much more obvious when I do it on a mini quilt--big quilts, not so muchJanet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135277743789532589.post-27746221713229284432015-04-16T17:32:07.793-06:002015-04-16T17:32:07.793-06:00Your blossom tree is magnificent!!!!
