Waiting for our next foster dog. Tails a-waggin'. I tasted an icicle hanging from its branch today and it was so yummy. What a treat to myself after clearing the heavy slush from our driveway, my neighbors car and our sidewalks. Now I have packed it in for the night and hope to treat myself to [...]
