  • Wordless Wednesday

  • Sunday Walk

    Due to circumstance, I tend to spend quite a bit of time on my own these days. Today, with temperatures above 40, I decided to get out and see what was happening in the neighborhood. I am happy to report– the sidewalks are clearing and lots of smiles are on the faces of people who…
