So... This is a hiatus... Be well y'all! x

I will come back when the elephants roost in the trees I will come back when the birds make love to the bees I will come back when the sun refuses to shine Miss Bette Davis is a cousin of mine I will come back when the fish walk around on two feet And promenade up and down on Washington Street When the snow has turned from white to blue Then maybe I will come back to you!

Fear isn’t so difficult to understand. After all, weren’t we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf.
