Awwwww... hope you're feeling better soon. I just know those tricky little germs are hiding out and will attack me precicely on December 24th, as they do every year.

Keep well.

Thanks, Maureen! Maybe I caught that computer virus that's going round? Maybe this year might be the year the flu misses you.

Illustration Friday: Hide

Image
Maurice’s cunning helped him evade that hungry field sparrow, and in doing so he discovered something new: his special affinity for flowers. He decided to go for it.
