Good morning, and a happy Sunday to all!

Do any kind souls who follow me feel like taking my sophomore 15x15 for a spin?

I'd be very grateful 💚

Today was a fabulous day to go outside and touch the (slightly frozen) grass.

Breathing cold air always feels like I'm being cleaned out.

I love the winter months 💚

Fair to say 2025 has had its share of ups and downs.

But, I'm grateful to have found the little crossword corner of the internet and been introduced to such lovely people.

It's scary making something for the first time, so thank you everyone for being kind! 💚
