A Wonderful Chill

A Wonderful Chill

A wonderful crispness greeted me as I opened the door this morning. There’s a chill in the air. A new feeling. Is it because school is starting next week? Is it because summer is winding down? I haven’t read a cozy mystery this morning, so it can’t be that. When school starts, I am ready […]
