My Words Remain Unwritten as … Mother Nature Spurs Helios into Action.
The long overdue construction of our new tent & spring cleaning were unavoidable!

How dee all,
It’s been more than a week since I’ve put pen to paper or a single finger on my drunken delinquent keyboard.

Helios paid attention to her warning and the PTSD rage has thus far has not returned.
But, the already Tangled Teepee was a mangled mess!
Too many broken poles to repair! So I sent an S.O.S to our Earth Angles (there another…
