Home again, home again

We got home a couple hours ago from our Memorial Day backpacking trip up to Horns Pond in Bigelow Maine. I'm absolutely exhausted in the best kind of way. Going to bed early and looking oh so forward to sleeping in my own climate controlled bedroom. I looked over a ...

Friday's Flowers ~ Celebrating Celine
