Striped Matching Girls Dresses
A while back I saw a friend of mine wearing a reverse stripe shirt. Actually, I’m just calling it that…none of the Google search terms I entered brought up a shirt like the one she was wearing.

Forest Floor Adventure
Stepping into the forest, on and off the path, in the dappled lighting we discovered quite an adventure. A deer bounded across the path and paused to stare at us with it’s great doe eyes. Four squirrels nibbled corn a forbidden arms length away. Something mysterious swam just beneath the water, surfaced with a splashContinue reading “Forest Floor Adventure”
