Today we were graced with something we haven’t seen in quite a while – blue skies and sunshine! So I had to take advantage of the great weather and get out. Of course, things didn’t exactly go as planned – but like always, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Just […]
Gloomy, gloomy skies. Seems like that past few weeks have seen nothing but clouds, rain & storms. Well, this morning was no different – overcast, but no rain. But with a small hole in my schedule I decided to head out to see what I could see on a walk. […]
