SPEEDING WITH A SPIDER

My son Alex and I were in the car driving to the park when I heard him say, “Well, hello little guy.” I looked over to the passenger seat, where he was sitting, and saw his hand up by the top of his window. “What are you doing?” I asked looking back at the road.Continue reading “SPEEDING WITH A SPIDER”

BLUEBERRY FIELDS FOREVER

PEEP PARTY

“I’m seeing another sign that summer is on it’s way!” I called out to my son Alex as I stood by the kitchen window looking out at the bird feeders. “What’s that?” Alex asked as he came into the kitchen with an empty glass and headed for the sink to refill it. “The goldfinches areContinue reading “PEEP PARTY”

PLEASE FLY AWAY

I was sitting on the couch, completely engrossed in my book, when there was a loud bang against the picture window just inches from my head. “What the heck!” I dropped my book and got up on my knees to see what had hit the window. When I didn’t see anything unusual I got upContinue reading “PLEASE FLY AWAY”

IN LIKE A LION OUT LIKE A LAMB

“Okay. I have to say I’m really glad my least favorite month of the year is done.” I said with a sigh as I leaned back against the couch and put my feet up on the coffee table. “Why’s March your least favorite month?” My husband Steven asked as he stopped and stood next toContinue reading “IN LIKE A LION OUT LIKE A LAMB”
