A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
When TO came home from school today we were discussing things that are going on in the world. I asked him if he knew what was going on in Australia and he said yes there were bad bush fires. I told him a lot of animals were dying and it was a very difficult time... Continue Reading →
