Thunderous Scavenging

Here Comes the Storm...



Last Tuesday, I spent some time with the witches, learning about the local flora and their magical properties. After living in Chicago for over four years, this was my first time visiting Bunker Hill. It was a massive chunk of land, and though I'm still confused as to where the hill is (this girl is from Seattle and lived in SF,  I know a thing or two about hills), I had a fantastic time and hope to make the trek back as soon as possible! The next time, though, I would prefer not to be caught in a thunderstorm while crossing a vast plain of a field. It was like being in the largest MMA ring and waiting to be struck down! I'll keep enjoying my thunderstorms from the comfort of my home!
