Get back to bed, she said
You are too young to fly! And Miss C lifted the little bird, for the fourth time that day, off the floor and placed it back into it’s pretend bread basket nest. Little bird glared at Miss C and waited for her to leave… Continue Reading “Get back to bed, she said”
No politics here. Just life. Just farming. Just me.
