The Wonderful Week That Was

The week passed in a flurry of writing, reading, exercises, visits with friends and family, and much of it was accompanied by rain. The Cozy Critters met and left in a rainstorm. I painted a gourd, punched holes in it and put twinkle lights inside, and had a close encounter with a spider. Some books I’ve […]
