Hello, Fiona

Fiona is the new girl next door; well, for a little while anyway. She is the newest foster kitten and we have had so little time together due to the pandemic. I hope we meet again soon!

We were able to score a night at the historic, floating B&B, The Covington Inn in downtown St. Paul, MN- still prettyContinue reading “Fall-OUT!”
