Which would be more than a little ironic, I think, unless the flower was being presented to someone.Taryn Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130206764352777367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605326350033222320.post-79153661803846092762011-02-16T19:04:34.438-05:002011-02-16T19:04:34.438-05:00Tara!

Re...Tara! Glad you found your way here, after all!<br /><br />Remember plucking the petals from daisies as a child, "He loves me, he loves me not"?

He gave them to you with his left hand, not his right." I am, however, thinking I may give Dill another try. I've never been a fan but suddenly it's worth another chance.<br /><br />Thanks for the great info!<br /><br />-TaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605326350033222320.post-66896757247089117202011-02-16T18:50:53.290-05:002011-02-16T18:50:53.290-05:00Gianna, Rae, Susanna, Marcelle, Reina~
