Lordy but it’s been a while
There’s a long list of excuses and explanations for why it’s so long between blog entries but who cares – on to Cincinnati as we like to say in these parts. Days are getting longer and I find that thrilling this time of year. Winter wasn’t so bad. T only got out the snowblower once… Continue reading

Après Thanksgiving
There’s something comforting about traditions regardless of what form that takes. Based on what I see here, a popular after Thanksgiving tradition is a family walk. We take our traditional stroll down to the river. It’s normally a quiet walk but in the fall it’s especially so. The subdued colors of fall help a lot… Continue reading

I’m busiest when nothing is going on
I look out over the gardens here and day after day it seems like nothing is going on but that’s when I have the most work to do. We’ve gone a bit overboard this year and so I may have just ordered more plants than can fit into the gardens. We’ll see how that works… Continue reading

What a difference a deer makes
Rebar and fishing line protects what’s left of the daylilies in the garden. There are a few hundred more in the compost pile. Spraying with nasty scented or hot pepper concoctions just seems to enhance the dining experience for deer so out with the old and in with the new. There’s a LOT of changes… Continue reading

Foiled again
So, you remember that bird feeder – the one I was waiting for the birds to find. The one the squirrels discovered and were eating their fill of bird seed. Well, I moved it and the good news is birds discovered the feeder in the new location. I now can sit and enjoy the Cardinals,… Continue reading

Waiting…why is it the hardest part?
I’m trying, really trying, to enjoy those quiet moments between all the things I am waiting for – the warmer weather, that planned vacation, the first blooms in the garden, that Amazon shipment… The list is mighty long. I can now add the wait for the first bird to discover the new feeder I put… Continue reading

The sun is out and so am I
We had a very mild and nearly snow free winter this year and I realize that makes me very fortunate. That doesn’t make me any less anxious to get outside as soon as spring arrives and the sun shines. Today marks the first day of spring and more than time for me to get to… Continue reading
About Me

My books cover many genres including contemporary, paranormal, sci-fi, multi-cultural and historical erotic romance. Many titles cross into multiple categories.
