In my last two posts, I didn't even mention the most exciting thing that happened to us during my writing break... While we were out of town, a tree in our backyard was struck by lightning! When we got home and were unloading the car, I noticed that there was stuff on the floor and... Continue Reading →

Road Trips, COVID, Dissent, OH MY!

I keep it cool at all times to help keep the hot flashes and night sweats away or a least to a minimum. I'm one of those over thinkers...... Continue Reading →
Birdsong…
This morning as I sat in my chair by the big picture window, tea in hand, I watched as three birds landed on the recently filled bird feeder. I tried to catch a photo but of course, when I moved my arm they flew away. (This photo was in the afternoon as I was writing... Continue Reading →
