Bonfires and the Cold

Hello everyone! I went to a bonfire last night at the base of Paine Mountain. It was a lot of fun and the fire was pretty big, so that was nice as well.

It's sad how much I will be missing out on because of quarantine and yes I understand why but it will be almost a month in quarantine soon. I'm trying to stay positive and keep busy while not really being able to... Read more →
