The stories he must know.Of seasons, weather, work, and play; of people, friend or foe? The rains of spring that fall for weeks and raise his levels high,The welcome heat […]

On this beautiful fall Saturday morning, I’m grateful. Looking out my window, the leaves are fluttering on the trees, and some are giving up their lifelong perch and floating gently down to a ground already covered with their neighbors. The sky is blue with a wisp of white here and there, and the app on […]

With God’s help and the support and encouragement from my husband, family and friends, I finally published a book. It’s a short, funny children’s book based on a poem that I wrote and posted right here, many years ago. It’s titled, “If I Were a Turkey“ I’ve learned that sometimes you just need to finish […]

Ah, Motherhood. What can I say that hasn’t already been said? To quote Dickens, “it was the best of times, it was the worst of times”. You may think that an odd comparison, unless you are a mother. If you are a mother, it resonates deep in your soul. Two of the best days of […]

Spring is trying to break forth but winter stubbornly holds her back blowing a north wind with all his strength. Yet I see buds and blossoms and the birdsong is different. They know change is coming and they gloriously and expectantly herald its arrival. The eerie wind shrieks and hisses in response as if trying […]

Oh, let the wind blow cried the little leaf While I hold on tight to this big oak tree It’s not quite my time to make the journey down Not until another hue of color I see I’ll hang here and listen to the wind in the trees And enjoy the crispness of an autumn […]
