Spring’s prolific melting magic

As I poured my cup of coffee, I looked out the window to see the sunrise.  The magic of spring is happening.  I'm barely able to contain my desires for warmer weather. Damn, there's still snow on the ground and hmm, the windows need cleaning, too.  But, the windows can wait.  I'll add them to the… Continue reading Spring’s prolific melting magic

The warm sun dances across the sky by day. Gusty winds… Continue reading A quartet’s walk on water

Bee Wise a Grand-Cat-Parenting tail

I'm experiencing my 2nd dose of grand-cat-parenting this week.  Yes, that's an official word for empty-nest parents whose adulting children have a cat instead of kids. Bee is adorable. Or at least I remember her as an adorable, cuddly, little kitten.  She was born in the jungle on the hobby farm. She was the runt,… Continue reading Bee Wise a Grand-Cat-Parenting tail
