How fun to look back over the year through photos. Amazing how Squash the Squirrel cleaned up.
ReplyDeleteCustodian of the books is a fitting title -- perhaps that is what we who covet books are. Shades of Ray Bradbury!
And we can't forget the Orphan Reds who have such a joie de vivre.

KIRSTEN: I enjoy reviewing the year this way, and having the photo collections from earlier years---it helps me keep events in chronological order too!
ReplyDeleteRay Bradbury! Nice connection!
The reds really do bring joy in to my life--thanks for seeing their true nature!
Great pictures! Love seeing your Year in Reviews.
