by Krista | Aug 23, 2013 | Bits 'n' Bobs
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that some day I'd be working quietly one moment and the next be catching a goat mid-air, tackling it to the ground, and pinning it there until Bear could stop laughing long enough to help me. Good heavens. Such was my life last...

Under the Poplars and Maple Roasted Pears
by Krista | Aug 6, 2013 | Bits 'n' Bobs
