April Book Reviews

Spring has definitely arrived in Oregon. I’m late on my April reviews, but I have six excellent books for you. Need some summer reads? I hope you find one or two here. As you can probably imagine, I receive a handful of review requests every day. I figured it was time to add a review […]

Dragonwood Poetry

I’ve been spending hours in the Dragonwood, my little mountain heaven with its mossy trees, feathered ferns, and singing frogs. I found a forest trail carpeted with three-leaf clovers and tiny silver ferns. The mosquito witch hasn’t yet emerged from her rotted stump, and the muddy prints of elk are the size of my hand […]

March Book Reviews

It’s almost April! How time flies. My husband and I have been working in the garden. When I moved to Oregon, the recommendation was to wait until the end of May to plant. In little over a decade, that planting date has moved forward by two months. I’ve expanded my garden, preparing for our expected […]

Tanka Tuesday Challenges #3 and 4 – Spring

I’ve opted for honesty in my poems and to forgo the cheeriness I don’t feel. There’s so much sorrow here. So many people are hurting, and the cruelty makes my head and heart hurt. I can’t pretend that I’m okay. I hope you can bear with me while my country struggles. Challenge #3 – A […]

Tanka Tuesday Challenges #1 and #2

Tanka Tuesday is back after a hiatus of a few months. Thank you, Colleen, for giving this wonderful community a reason to write poetry and celebrate each other’s talents. As usual, I’m incapable of following a schedule and am responding to two Tanka Tuesday challenges instead of one. Challenge #1 was to write a taiga, […]

February Book Reviews

Welcome to March! Here in Oregon we’re on the cusp of spring. In the valley, the cherry trees and daffodils are blooming. I’m a month away from flowers, but a few days of sunshine found me in the garden with the dog. I had a fabulous month of reading, and though only four books, I’m […]

Coffee with Mike at Sally’s Smorgasbord Blog Magazine

Good Morning (at least it’s morning here in Oregon). I’m having coffee with Sally Cronin today at her Smorgasbord blog, and I invited my friend, a fabulous poet and photographer, Mike Utley to join us. If you have a moment, stop by for a cuppa and a scone (or an Oregon Berry croissant). While you’re […]

January Book Reviews: Part Two!

Happy Valentine’s Day! February is a good month to love up some books while winter keeps us home in the northern hemisphere, and those in the south are sipping iced tea on their hammocks. As promised, here are the last 9 of the books I read in January. If you decide to pick up one […]
