Thank you all for sharing about your favorite birds after I wrote about birds in my stories. You had so many favorites, and I enjoyed reading about them. Cardinals and hummingbirds were mentioned often. Cardinals are so bright and cheerful and hummingbirds fun to watch as well as lovely. Woodpeckers showed up among your favorites several times and doves with …
Birds chirping around you is a beautiful realization that life is incredibly good. Let this sound be a gentle break in your routine. ~Hiral Nagda I like birds. My mom liked birds. She loved feeding them and so do I. So I suppose it’s only natural that I enjoy putting a few birds in my stories. The three books pictured …
Thanks to all of you for jumping into this new game with enthusiasm and smiles. I need to come up with a name for the game. Any suggestions? All I can think of is Rewrite the Proverb Game. That could be because rewriting is always part of my writing game. When I’m working on a new book the way I …
Snow! You either love it, endure it, or hate it. Or maybe like me, you like it sometimes, maybe even most of the time, but get tired of it if the snow overstays its welcome. I’m sort of the one good snow a year and that’s enough, but I know some people love snow so much they want the ground …

One legend explains the bluebird’s red breast by claiming the little bird blew on the fire in the stable to keep the flames going and warm the Christ Child on the night …
Sunday I shared a very inspiring story from Kim that she sent in after getting my newsletter last month. But she wasn’t the only one who shared bird stories. I think they will have you smiling, and smiles are always good. First up here is a fun little fact about our Kentucky cardinals that Mary shared. Just a little bird …
The northern cardinal symbolizes hope, life, and restoration. That could be why when I sent out a recent newsletter asking readers to share their favorite bird, the cardinal was the runaway favorite. It also might have helped that it is the state bird for 5 states: Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia. Then there is that …
I sent out a newsletter a couple of weeks ago. When I do, I always include a giveaway, and since the heroine in my upcoming release, The Song of Sourwood Mountain, loves bluebirds, I looked for a bird related prize to go along with the winner’s choice of one of my already published books. So, when I saw a book …

If you didn’t get the newsletter and would like to, just let me know in the comments and I’ll send one out to you. As I nearly always do, I invited my newsletter readers to share a story with me.
