Stiff and Sore
Some days the people I love wake up feeling like a truck had run them over in the night. If they were dragons they could drink a brew and of course the beast that ran them over would be a charging cattle. The brew would either work to make their muscles fluid and relaxed or…
Read MoreWind blown and snotty
We traversed the highways and made it to my folks yesterday with the wind sweeping across the plains and trying to shove us in a ditch. It was a wild ride, but the plows were out keeping the snow from piling up, which we appreciate. Like all long trips we made a number of stops…
Read MoreFacial horns
Baby dragon features are smooth and soft, but as a dragon matures he or she starts to form facial horns and head horns, the mane hair grows which is more fur like in texture; claws and talons harden and lengthen. Wings expand and the muscles form with exercise allowing the first glides. Puberty for dragons…
Read MoreOpposable Thumbs
Dragons have not only two opposable thumbs on their hands, but also on their feet. This gives them stability when they land, the ability to grasp and carry heavy items, but it can make walking on rocky terrain a bit of a challenge. Also the talons on their feet are very powerful and sharp. Imagine…
Read MoreOrange and tea
If you are looking for an outstanding cup of tea, fetch yourself a big mug and put the kettle on. Cut up and orange and take a big meaty slice and juice part of it in the cup and throw in the rind, it adds flavor to the rest. Then add some crystallized ginger to…
Read MoreTruffles
Chocolate is a food group that should be exempt from calculation on diets. Let me start with that qualifier and explain that I watch my cholesterol and saturated fats very carefully, but chocolate is allowable in small doses. That being said, Linder makes a really good truffle. They do an exceptional job with strawberries and…
Read MoreTravel
Fortunately we are not hitching up a wagon to a pair of fractious cattle and working our way through the snow, but we are traveling on old earth’s interstate system. It is always an adventure when we go somewhere, see new things and feed my overactive imagination. This time we are specifically visiting my parents,…
Read MoreAllergies
It is one thing when I break out in spots, sneeze my head off or have some lovely unexplained reaction, but my poor dog has some unknown allergy and it is making him nuts. The poor thing has been to the vet twice already and has been on meds, had his food changed, been forced…
Read MoreSnorting
Yes dragons snort and humans who spend time with dragons accept that behavior. Maybe not all humans, but certain types who enjoy inflicting the gross factor on others. Grabon first snorts on Heron in Gordon’s Pride and it is obvious from Heron’s reaction that it is not the first time. That snort of course includes…
Read MoreSuperior Species
At the end of book 2, Heron’s Bonds, one of the Farmers tries to stir up support for attacking the dragons, because they are a threat. His brilliant plan is to attack Grabon and his five friends while they are sleeping in Grabon’s nest. His plan is exposed and Grabon judges that this human is…
