"just feelings" responses

Thanks to all of you who sent me feelings to go along with my pictures. It was a lot of fun to read them and see your various perspectives. I also appreciate having friends and family that can describe things with words I have to use dictionary.com for. After each feeling I'll put the initials of the person who sent it so you can learn a little about each contributor. I'm not sure who I'll end up sending a post card to, although if you already got one, your chances are slim (though several people from this category sent in excellent words). Oh, and don't judge if the postmark is from Boonsboro. I only have one day left . . . Anyways, here is a list of the contributors (in order of appearance) along with the initials that identify them (there were a few repeats, so I added a couple middle initials). Also, take notice of John Howe's interesting idea.
