“Even the darkest night will end, and the sun will rise.”  Victor Hugo Thanks, Spidey, for another appropriate quote! Last week we were all on tenterhooks, at school.

#SoCS Dec. 11 2021 – Tree

Linda’s prompt for SoCS this week: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “tree.” Use the word “tree” or write about a tree. Any kind of tree. Enjoy!
