7.9.23 Yesterday, in the early evening, we had the most wonderful rain. The clouds had been building since early afternoon and thunderstorms with abundant lightning had been predicted. Storms are welcome for the most part of the year but after a long, hot, dry spell, these summer storms in our part of the state tend… Continue reading The Writer’s Path

6.11.23 Friendships are funny things. Sometimes the most unlikely of people, people who seem polar opposites in all manner of things, become the firmest of friends. Animals too sometimes have the tendency to form the most unusual of bonds. That has sure become the case with our Bonnie dog and an outcast old rooster! We… Continue reading A New Calling

5.14.23 Sometimes even the strongest of chains will break. When they do, we often look hard, trying to find the weak link, wondering if it can be repaired, asking ourselves if repaired, can it ever be as strong as it once was? Life is sometimes like that isn’t it? Years and years and years ago,… Continue reading Broken Chains

4.1.23 April 1st and Mother Nature sure knows how to fool us! Waking up very early this morning, the gentle sound of rain greeted me as I lay there contemplating getting up. By the time I slipped out of bed, put my glasses on and headed quietly into the front room, I heard the wind begin… Continue reading Out Like a Lion…

3.26.23 Mother Nature is feeling rather fickle these days. The Spring Equinox arrived on time, according to the calendar and it really was a lovely day, then Mother Nature had a bit of a tizzy fit and decided to remind us of who exactly was in charge!

3.5.22 It’s a chilly one outside today. Snow fell last evening and a mantle of white blankets the ground and makes the trees look as if dusted with icing sugar. Sitting here in my easy chair beside my dearest Darrell, a fire blazing in the stove and cup of tea at hand, it is such… Continue reading Some you win, some you don’t…

2.12.23 It is a chilly 20 degrees outside at half past four this morning, but I will take it over the single digits and below zero nights of a few weeks ago. It would be nice to have some snow on the ground as it has been a very dry sort of winter so far.… Continue reading A Work in Progress

1.8.23 The year has turned, and here we are, already one full week into the New Year. It seems as if it came upon us so suddenly! One minute it was October, and I was thinking I had better get cracking making our Traditional English Christmas cakes and getting stocked up on my soaps and… Continue reading New Year Turning…

12.18.22 It’s cold outside this morning, a chilly 10 degrees and the moon, a fuzzy sliver of light high in the sky suggests a cold day is in store for us again. Odd weather really for this time of year. More what we see in January than the middle of December, but we have no… Continue reading The Dawn
