Wild Kingdom: Hayley Style
Kelly came in from taking out the trash and said: A bunny had a lucky escape last night. Then he took me outside to show where a bobcat unsucessfully pursued a bunny under our fence. Lucky bunny indeed!
Reflections on 2014 – The Year that Was
At the beginning of 2014, I recognized that I was in danger of burning out and needed to reevaluate what, as well as why, I was doing what I was doing. That led to my 2014 resolution – to be intentional: I ended my post about my 2014 resolution by saying: I don’t care if […]
A Perfect Weekend (in November)
