City Girl

Once the clock strikes midnight I may not turn into a pumpkin but I will be on a plane headed back east to stay on a farm in Western Massachusetts (Petersham) for a week. My flight leaves at 11:30 pm April 15th and I will be off to live a simpler life, even if it is only for a week.

Amen.
