Turkey Trot
I was working quietly in my office yesterday afternoon when my husband shouted at me to look out the window. It seems we had some visitors. A whole rafter of them! They didn’t stay long, but we enjoyed watching their … Continue reading

Once upon a morning eerie, while we slept still weak and weary, Under covers, asleep, the silence unbroken by even a snore, While we lay there, clearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one loudly rapping, rapping … Continue reading

Catching Up
It’s time to catch you up on my reading. Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon: A Meg Langslow Mystery by Donna Andrews Grade: B I was drawn to this author by her cute titles, many of which feature birds, and I bought … Continue reading
An Afternoon Walk
Images from an afternoon walk— Sections of the canal covered with floating autumn leaves. Zigzagging trails of clear water marking the passage of ducks. A capped jug bobbing cheerfully in the river. What’s in the jug? Moonshine, maybe. Or maple … Continue reading
