    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier August 9, 2025August 9, 2025

    A bit of a late start with writing and posting today. The past few days have been consumed by research and presentations for three zoning hearings—more facts and formalities than the lovely, fun, and creative pursuits I usually enjoy.
