Aaaw!! They both sound lovely! (And funny! 😂😂😉) Oh my word, Djadon sounds like he’s a handful! That’s hilarious though 🙂 Flaxen chestnut, by the way, is absolutely gorgeous!!!

Me too! What kind of chickens do you have? Ours are Jerseys.

HORSES!?! Did you say horses?!! Aaaah! I would absolutely love to get a horse!!! I’m kind of equestrian crazy so maybe one day…. What breed do you have? What are their names?

(And that it worked for you when you shifted the perspectives of your MC) Payton is the first get-under-your-skin, can-be-kind-of-annoying-at-times character that I’ve written – I think that’s why I like him XD He does get…[Read more]
