PetTeet Park Mural
In September 2023, I spent a few weeks on a farm in Western Australia doing farm chores and helping with the annual Canola Festival. We kept in touch after I left. When I sent a picture of the Mural I did in Ocean Shores, Pam, one of the owners, sent me this poster and somewhat […]
