TWiP: Close to Home

Unlike Week 33s past, the 2021 Week 33 did not involve any beachy day trips, weekend getaways, or intercontinental travel. I barely left the house. On the plus side, I did manage to procure a bouquet of zinnias, which inspired some photo play and kept me plenty entertained.

Virtual Clayathon 2021

It’s been nearly a month since this year’s Clayathon happened, and I almost didn’t bother writing a recap now that so much time has passed.
