I know of one place that always made me slow down for the beautiful hellebores around the mailbox, they're of a striking beauty. In Austria they grow in the wild, at the edge of woods, they stick their little heads out from still heavy snow blanket. Gotta go see them this year.<BR/>PARIS Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10964852.post-1166120225788930652006-12-14T19:17:00.000+01:002006-12-14T19:17:00.000+01:00There is a group of Swedish women in our city and ...There is a group of Swedish women in our city and they hold a lights festival on St. Lucia's day.
