“Lone Pine IPA” (IPA) Sawdust City Brewing
If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.” ~Henry…

Love in Ten Lines
Yesterday, I was challenged by by Dale Rogerson to write about “love in 10 lines” (the challenge and her own contribution are here).
