not just for sheep anymore!

You may or may not remember how much I hate to shop. So it follows that I am not usually one of those gals who post photographs of the spoils of her most recent shopping trips. Partly because I do not embark upon very many shopping trips in the first place and partly because, even [...]

a few answers…

No, Small Fry doesn’t actually dislike the grass. She loves it, in fact! I took this photo of her either moments before I took the one I posted earlier…or moments after.
