Discussions on NewEarth

Many people have never seen grass in a fully natural state on earth, so it is no surprise that they are disoriented by the tall grass on NewEarth. The grass in an open field that grows in full light averages seven feet tall in full summer, unless it is trampled or cut down. The pictures…

Does anyone have a favorite recipe for breakfast food that can compare with Morning bread in the book? Being limited to OldEarth ingredients, I think the closest comparison is cinnamon bread with raisin, nuts and apple. If you have never tried it, I highly recommend it.

Have you ever wondered what motivates a dragon to do something? You’ll find out in Heron’s Bonds when Grabon’s friends come to visit. Can you imagine Gordon’s reaction to five visiting dragons so close to his farm? It does make for an interesting story.
