Snovid And Stuff ~ Katrina Curtiss ~ 2/22/21

Farewell From My Snowman ~ Katrina Curtiss 2/20/2021

My Cat And The Snow ~ Katrina Curtiss 1/10/2021
Basura Cat meowed, “My oh my!” “What is that white stuff falling from the sky?” “Does God have Dandruff, did he scratch his head?” As she snuggled under the covers upon her cat bed. It’s snow, a thing she has not seen before It landed on the ground, tried to…
