When 1 + 1 = 1
It's funny how sometimes two beloved things just don't work together. For instance, I love ice cream and I love chocolate but I just don't care for chocolate ice cream. At all.

The wind was wet … Continue reading The sun also rises

Life has been a bit hectic and I've been running later in the evening because of the heat. It was the second time … Continue reading ARE summer trail series – Week 8
