In The Quiet
It is getting late and everyone is going off to bed. I am sitting here in the tidied living room alone. My very low music and the gurgle of the fish tank for my solace. It feels almost too quiet after a week of having Dru and Lisl and babies here. On the one hand… Continue reading In The Quiet
