I didn't know cruise ships visited though!<br /><br />Love the hollyhocks - I'm planning on planting seeds this Spring but of course as they are bi-annual doubt they'll bloom until next year.<br /><br />Up early this morning awaiting the carpet installers around 9 AM - will be so glad when this day is over!<br /><br />Happy week dear - Mary XMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.com
