Yes, we have rain after a very hot week so it's a case of rain created play!

I've therefore been playing catchup with my journals.....

GATHER & REVERE

PLUCK

Life documented 

Quote: A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not in the branch but on its wings.  Always believe in yourself. ~ Unknown
