The eerie silence of Covid compliance no sliding no riding no hiding and seeking no swinging and singing no climbing no bouncing no racing no boisterous dashing no playful splashing. Just Mousekin afloat without a boat. Just the eerie Covid silence. Every time I walk […]
Autumn sun sparkles while summer’s drifting away … one leaf at a time. Summer seems to have come to a sudden end here in the Pacific Northwest! We’ve had quite a few rainy days already and the nights are getting cooler. Slowly the leaves are […]
Take time to smell the roses! It’s so easy to forget. Sometimes, chores should wait! Busy, busy, busy. “I can relax tomorrow!” All too often tomorrow never comes! Nothing should be more important then to make a little time for yourself! A moment in your day where you […]
