The covered passageway is perfect - wide enough not to be claustrophobic and well adorned with wonderful plants.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-82348729678599610742018-10-25T14:15:21.526-07:002018-10-25T14:15:21.526-07:00Lots of great elements!

All of us should be more footloose and fancy-free!"
