Ahhhh, Chlorophyll

Ahhhh, Chlorophyll

It’s been awhile since I first heard about you and surprisingly, I remember you well. But truth be told ??

The rain poured down in buckets all day yesterday and early morning today and as I turned over to zzzzz back to sleep I thought, c’mon, Universe ♥ all I’m asking for is one, simple walk before the BEARS game ♥ ’cause, umm, it’s been awhile since I’ve felt this selfish and ! ! YES ! …
