FQ Friday: Witches!
It goes without saying that I’m witchy every day. But man, days like today? I’m ALL THE WITCH Y’ALL. Today is Friday the 13th. Auspicious and lucky for me, always, but even better this go ’round because we also get a full harvest moon to go with it. Like a huge magical glowing cherry on…
