Special Exposure Wednesday – Planting Flowers
The boy wanted flowers near the front door so he did something about it: Only thing is, he forgot to transfer the plant too, 😉 *My apologies for not posting last week. I had a bit of an emergency. Share what you managed to capture this week. Please spread the comment love around. Thank you.

“They know him almost better that we do….in a way.” There was a time when C would have never said this. A time when, should someone utter these words to either of us, the emotions would swell. Our eyes, my eyes, would betray my immediate offense to the statement – the anger. How could anyone…
Too Much to Ask?
I had a meeting today with various members of our support team at school.
