I love the rain. I love the anticipation in the air before it starts. I love watching as the first drops paint the surfaces a darker color than they were. I love the smell of rain even when it smells like worms but especially when it smells like clean. I love when it is warm…Read more Raining

Dream a little Dream
It was a quiet morning. Lilly and I sat on the couch while I drank my coffee and scratched behind her ears. It isn’t particularly anything outside. It is grey, the snow is half melted so there is no majestic twinkling coming off of the white snow and the grass showing is more brown than…Read more Dream a little Dream
Ghosts
The furniture is moved around, the Christmas tree is lit up but not yet decorated, the dog is curled up peacefully in her bed next to it. Snow flitters past the window and hot chocolate warms my throat. Suddenly every hair on my arm stands straight up as I feel cold fingers brush along my…Read more Ghosts

Humans show us feelings when we touch them. He showed intentions, plans. We learn something different from each organism we touch. It…Read more Sneak Peek: Chapter from Goblins

A Beautiful Morning
“Wow, what a gorgeous day today; the sun is out, it isn’t freezing cold, the golden leaves decorate the green grass and the sky is bright blue. There is the fall crispness in the air without the bite of cold wind and I have nothing that I have to do. There is food in the…Read more A Beautiful Morning
