duck feeding

    Yesterday I took Keely out to feed some ducks and geese at a nearby garden/park. She was all over the place. She has no fear-running down paths far from me, climbing in weedy, gnarly underbrush…tomboy.

Quick Crafts Vol. ?

My new baby and a tax re-FUN!

Suuuure we've got $1,000's and $1,000's in student loans and […]
