2024 Milestones & Bonsai Videos
2024 Milestones & Bonsai Videos With Christmas madness about to descend upon us all I guess it's that time of year when tossers like me who conceitedly write blogs have to take stock of the year all but passed. 2024 was a year of milestones and some bonsai videos too.
