We discovered an old spring pavilion and a little waterfall flowing into a creek full of darting minnows. The walk was so lovely […]
This post has been a long time coming. It’s my own fault. I let my brain go on vacation for a few months while I tried to get back into the work groove and have had a hard time getting it to re-fire. Some days it’s as uncooperative as my bod. Some days one works
