#SoThisHappened. Had my right knee scoped, it had been bothering me for awhile, too much squatting/twisting/dancing/hiking/gear-carrying and likely not enough exercising to keep it strong.

#Mygirls play Rock-Paper-Scissors to see who would get their #Covid #vaccine first. Lilybelle bested Willow, so her big #sister went first.

More from the #neighbor. Believe me, we’re only scratching the surface. I do like how he’s kept this tree, long after it had seemingly died. . . #halloween #skeleton #travel #travelgram https://www.instagram.com/p/CVJd3DnLeyP/?utm_medium=tumblr
