P-p-patch of b-b-blue
For just a moment the sun came out. I think it was the sun. Might have been a great glowing alien spacecraft I suppose. Anyway, Miss Sadie, the Cowboy and I headed for the beach to catch some rays. We would have stayed longer, but it was a little breezy, and besides it’s time to […]
