I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

That is such a pretty song. I’ve never heard it before, but you can bet I’ll be playing it over and over and over again. Well, now that I’m listening to it I think I have heard it before, but not by this singer. Great tune to listen too. Gonna have to play it again it’s that cool. Thanks for sharing & for rockin’ along with us! You are just too too special! Have a rockin’ week! Nectarine Compote Dessert does sound really yummy & we were just saying we need more fruit in our diet. 🙂
