New vs Old Earth

Probably the first real difference is the green sky, the two suns, the two moons and of course the different plants and animals. On NewEarth there is an abundance of fresh water, but there are salt water oceans as well. The humans on NewEarth are dedicated “Greenies” descendants of people who left old earth to…

Old Friends

I had the pleasure of catching up with an old friend on the phone. It was amazing how quickly we fell into the same patterns of conversations as always. It had been at least a year and it was wonderful to hear his voice and find out how he was doing. Like many of my…

Cows 🐮

In between writing, I spend an inordinate amount of time watching the cows move from one field to another, interact, raise their babies and search for that ever elusive perfect blade of grass. Yesterday was a perfect example. They were as usual playing hide the babies, and as we started watching, one of the babies…

Freezing Rain

We traveled home again after a wonderful visit with my brother and his family. The food was fantastic, the company entertaining and many of the stories worth repeating. However the weather really could have been nicer. About halfway home, we had to stop for de- icing, gas and a bathroom. We passed three cars whose…

Waiting

Like everyone, I suppose, I detest waiting. I plan my life to have as little blank wait time as possible. In the event that I am stuck waiting for someone or something I bring a book, or plot a story, or watch people, or have a discussion, some kind of planned activity. I seldom find…

Reading

Like all good writers, I spend a portion of my day consuming words as well as producing them. Some days it is Feehan, some days it is Leigh. If my mood is right it is Bishop or Garwood. Roberts is always a possibility, Howard touches my heart every time. I read multi genre, various time…

Visit the Forest

Yesterday we spent a good part of the day in the trees, walking and admiring the signs of spring. We saw turtles mating, sunning themselves on logs and a beaver dam. There was an unidentified mammal swimming, a beaver or otter, moving fast and diving. There were fish, lots of them and bugs, but not…
