Good morning!
I awoke today feeling excited to explore the land and walk the fields after this recent heavy rain. The creek is singing again, the birds are busy, the ground is soft and alive. The trees are glistening and fragrant. There are apples and plums to harvest, freshly washed of summer dust1 read more »
