Seasons change. One moment we are hanging out in a season enjoying the elements and dynamics, and then quickly we are in the next.

Ad Addendem
Please note Dear Reader, that in the post where I exposed my fond desire for a Dear Grandmamma, I did my best to point out that it isn’t just Dirt that is in need of extra care.
