The fields are marked off with stone borders and the variety of colors is amazing. The picture posted just under "The Countryside" reminds me of that view of Ireland but without quite the variety of color.<br /><br />The people of Mykonos get more sun and less Green. The Irish get rain everyday and land that is bright and lush. There is a reason it is called "the emerald isle."Bethhttp://www.murderbytype.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-61170445681175777362012-04-14T14:58:24.980-04:002012-04-14T14:58:24.980-04:00Tim, if I could answer that question I'd chang...Tim, if I could answer that question I'd change New Jersey.

We do seem to have gotten the "Kalos" part wrong though. <br /><br />Enjoy the lovely spring on offer.<br /><br />reg<br />YrsaYrsa Sigurdardottirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889410114439001207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-41009098978285667462012-04-14T11:50:02.000-04:002012-04-14T11:50:02.000-04:00http://www.5minutesformom.com/53609/easter-link-up...http://www.5minutesformom.com/53609/easter-link-up-2012/Liznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-29046524973621285172012-04-14T10:38:28.887-04:002012-04-14T10:38:28.887-04:00Yes, Michael, it's truly a different place in ...Yes, Michael, it's truly a different place in Springtime.
