WINGS, SHELLS AND HEAVENLY TALES
Clink from Kansas on a fall feeling Septembers Sunday. This month just flew by much like crisp fall leaves on a windy day, fast, swirling and all over the place. This turtle shell Katie gave me and to be honest it has always been her gift to find and share significant treasures that nature leaves…
