Because When You Know

Sunrise. My favorite time of day. And one thing that I love about sitting in my recliner and watching the sunrise is this – it’s never the same! The colors, the clouds, no clouds, the hues of orange or pink, mixed with golds and blues and greens…but...

Pregnant with Un-forgiveness

Time for a Little Decorating
