So at least there is that………… All is not lost when I have my camera with me on my hikes. Soooooo here are a few shots I snapped this week as I hiked. Remember the wind storm that we had in March?

How To Heal Your Child’s PTSD After A Family Car Accident
In 2019 in the USA, 4,423,000 people sustained injuries that required medical attention, according to a preliminary estimate from the National Safety Council, and children who are in a family car accident need help to recover fully, including mental health support.

Trail Cam Friday
Moved the trail cam and STILL have boring photo’s. Except of course when The Husband and I were walking Bear and realized we were in front of the camera. TRUE wildlife RIGHT?!?!? Remember the to-do list I was so proud of??? Wanna guess how many things I have crossed off so far? Zip, zero, NADDA!!! So badly I wish that I wrote ‘print list’ cause I did do that and I could have crossed it off. Oh well. Next week maybe the trail cam will capture someTHING! Anything! Hope you are all well. Stay inside and go wash your hands.

Today (March 31st) it was easy peasy to stay home. It’s snowing BIG huge flakes of snow. I…
