About susan sheldon nolen

It’s rare to catch me without coffee, a form of camera, or my beloved wire fox terriers.

Summer is almost over and the big paint/clear out job is done. Now it’s time to move into the next phase. It’s funny how we mark time. The first bulbs push up through the earth, the first red robin darts … Continue reading

Toot Toot- Aint she a beaut!
