what I saw

bed bed bed
We got a bed by non-traditional means. I felt leery of it, and it sat unused for more than a week. But yesterday Erik set it up in the bedroom. I love to lie on it starting out the window at the buds on the sycamore tree outside. They’re so beautiful when they move in… Read More »
