Getting Back on the Musical Track

Jul 10, 2019 | music

I spent far more time than I’d wanted not playing. Not that I meant to. I love to play, even if it’s just working up and down the scales in my book to get back into the habit of regular practice, knowing notes, and getting the brain and the fingers to work...

Feeding Before The Storm (Sunday Horses)

Jul 7, 2019 | horse stuff

Jul 2, 2019 | horse stuff, life, writing

This month’s question: What personal traits do I put in my own characters? When I began writing my Noble Dreams series, I admit I started as a lark. As a horse crazy girl who grew into a crazy horse lady (just ask my four spoiled horses), I longed to continue...

Yesterday I helped support our local ham radio club’s booth at the Old Time Music festival. I’ll admit, I haven’t gotten on the airwaves yet in spite of having my Technician’s license for nearly a year. My little handheld radio doesn’t...

SuperDuck Gets a Penthouse Suite

May 21, 2019 | birds & poultry

With the sad demise of Frankie the middle pen between the guineas and the regular chicken coop is open once more. SuperDuck goes outside during the day and then comes in at night because he doesn’t understand that he’s a duck, and thus a juicy yummy treat...
