Cider and Hungry Caterpillars…

In an effort to return to some sense of normalcy and lightheartedness after the events from earlier this week, I thought now would be a good time to share some photos and snippets from last weekend in what I consider to be the “calm before the storm,” so to speak. Last weekend was the annual […]
