Fieldtrip with Friends, Fessler Nursery and Bauman’s Farm
Sometimes I’m lucky enough to experience a magical day. I’ve been friends with these ladies since our oldest children attended preschool together, five years now.

Yurts so Good

Springtime in Salem, a painting
Did any of you Salemites witness the crazy hail storm today? Our neighborhood was quickly blanked in little hail balls around noon. It was surely a fun site to see.
