Your eggs and asparagus look terrific, but I'd never have any asparagus left over for the next meal.

I bought some roots to put in a new bed and was wondering about the details. I'm really curious about the fern, too. <br />Beautiful shot of the camelia!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986908754687987997noreply@blogger.com
