In the country when I was a kid, if a cat or dog showed up on your farm, you automatically assumed somebody had dropped it. That meant we suspected they had taken an unwanted pet for a ride and shoved them out beside the road a good distance away from their house. I’ve made pets of at least three dogs …
A few years ago I was asked to do an interview with Quip Pro Quills called Animals & Authors. I wrote about Oscar, my best ever dog at the time, and me. Unfortunately I lost Oscar the year after this interview to bone cancer at the young age of eight. He was the best dog ever and a great subject …
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift. That’s why we call it the present. ~Bill Keane Have you ever felt that each Sunday when you get up and have the privilege of going to church before having time with family or just resting time is a blessed gift? Maybe you feel that way every …
Several years ago I did an online Q & A about Animals and Authors. That was before my previous dog, Oscar, died of bone cancer way before I was ready to say goodbye. I hope you like this journey back in time to when Oscar was my best dog and always ready to support my writing efforts. 🙂 Quid Pro …
Years ago, I started walking with my dogs early in the mornings. First I had my best ever dog, Oscar, along with me. Later, after Oscar crossed the rainbow bridge, I got Frankie and then Marley who go for my morning walks with me now. On my Facebook author page, I started inviting my FB friends to go along with …

“There’s a sunrise awaiting everyone who wishes to see beyond what their windows allow them to see.” ― Maria S Haneef Those of you who follow my Facebook author page know that I invite everyone along on my “Sunday morning coming down” walks each week. Wherever I am, which is usually right here at home, I go out with the dogs …
“How many lessons of faith and beauty we should lose, if there were no winter in our year!” ~Thomas Wentworth Higginson I like the seasons of the year. Each one brings its own gifts, and one of the gifts of winter is snow. So far this winter, our area is in a snow drought. Instead of snow we’ve had lots …
There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly. ~R. Buckminster Fuller Okay, so my first picture wasn’t quite as mysterious as I had hoped. A lot of you got it right off. Yes, the spots on a butterfly wing. I do appreciate those of you who used a little more imagination and saw …
Take a walk with Frankie and me down the creek as we go hunting wildflowers. Every spring I try to find a good day, at least once and even better twice, in the spring to go wildflower hunting. It’s not an easy quest. The path down to the creek is steep and rocky. You can slide down if you’re not …
