Pre – 2018
All of my Pre-2018 entries are from the previous few years. I’ve included them as a bank of history for me more than anything else.
Christmas Eve. It’s all drawing to a close. Like the end of summer, I will the season to last longer. Yet, I know what often makes something special is the absence of it. I love the seasons and the fresh perspective that each season brings to my life. I don’t want sunshine 365 days a […]
