Seagulls
This image was taken by our writer Karina Coghlan. Summer is here. The sun is shining, school is out, and families take vacation.

Poetry- Turning Autumn

Recipe- Fresh Pumpkin Filling
Dried leaves tap across the ground in a waltz with the wind. Each evening, the night sky greets us a little earlier.
