Squirrels are everywhere! They are always scurrying around… looking…gathering…preparing. Have you seen them? Red, grey, black or maybe even flying? If they have scurried across your path they have a very important message to share. It’s time to start preparing for the future. Start stockpiling whatever you may need on a rainy day to get…

#20 – Art & Tunes
3/30/18, Megtography #20 – Art & Tunes – I enjoy putting on some headphones, listening to my favorite songs and drawing some pictures. Good way to spend the day. Working on my next totem animal!
Totem Animal: Rhinoceros
