FAVORITE FRIDAY FINDS NUMBER 3

A MORE NORMAL LIFE AND BARKING DOGS

Life hasn't returned to what was normal before the pandemic started, but it has become more normal.

I am all about being outside these days, and even though I don't have a huge garden I love looking at all the wonderful things that are available for today's garden.
