Gordon
Watching the news, following the pandemic, because really what choice do we have, I gave myself a giggle wondering how Gordon and his Farmer’s wisdom would deal with covid19 and all the idiocy that surfaces around a disaster here on old earth. Here are a few of my thoughts… feel free to add your own.…

Hanna
When Hanna first sees Gordon, she notices his height, the size of his arms, the stubborn set of his jaw. Like most abuse victims, she notices his anger, his frown, and she tries to appease him using a variety of tricks. Later, when Hanna feels the connection to the planet come back to her, she…

Grief and a Mess
I lost my mother in mid-February. It was gut wrenching and unbelievably sad. Of course the world shortly after exploded with a virus that took our country by storm. As I write this today, we have passed 2,000 deaths in the USA and I am not so self-centered that I don’t realize that every one…

Spring is in the Air
The start of spring has always held hope. Hope that the floods won’t be so bad. Hope that the babies born will live. Hope that sunny days will outnumber the cloudy rainy ones. But most of all… hope that winter will finally be over and life will once again sprout from the ground with new…

Corona Virus
Making jokes about this pandemic is in poor taste, but this one is irresistible. I’d say something about this virus, but you might not get it. 😀 Be well, be safe, and please, read a book and write a review.

Ramblings
Having a head cold is always interesting, but having it at the beginning of the Novel Coronavirus Outbreak is enlightening. People are so much better than you would think. Nobody backed away from me, nobody made the sign of the cross. I was not chased out of the public square by pitchfork wielding maniacs, nor…
