A long road back to horses
What started you on your writing journey? I remember the day as plain as day. I was in K-Mart with money I’d earned from my job “pushing” rides at a local trail riding facility. I was twelve, too young to legally work, but they paid me cash under the...
Mast Cells and Dermatographism (Fibromyalgia Gone Wild)
I’m not allergic to cats. I have fifteen of them (yes, on purpose, kind of). And yet, I notice that if a cat is in a particular dusty area (like my office cabin – yikes!) when I got the inevitable scratch or poke because kitty bellies are so irresistible,...
Velociraptor Bites!
Turns out my sign came just in time. With some extra holiday money, I treated myself to the “Beware of Velociraptor” sign for the goose pen. We’ve been calling my Roman Tufted Geese “asshole dinosaurs” for a while now, and they get a bit...

This fall has been rough on me. With the sinus infection-bronchitis-pansinusitis and now my doctor tells me that my chronic sinusitis, which honestly I’ve had for years, is all a part of my fibromyalgia getting worse, not to mention the change in my work...Homestead Planning
I haven’t checked the temperature yet today, though the last time I saw it was going to be in the fifties. I’m looking forward to doing some yard work and getting outside with my horses during my days off this holiday season, and as my thoughts often do,...Updated Blog Schedule
