Happy Haiku Monday! Yeah, a gray day today ... but that's okay because i'm trying to write the last few chapters for the newest Fox Walker Novel: Avenge. And Yes, I did stay under the covers a bit longer than usual. Ha Here's to a new week leading up to Thanksgiving!

Happy Haiku Monday! We received our first frost for the Fall here in our neck of the woods. It wasn't near as breathtaking as the photo below but it was a pretty scene for quite a few hours. The photo below came from a backpacking trip we did in Yosemite many years ago. Our last

Happy Haiku Monday! Finally made it through this manuscript for the next Fox Walker Novel #7. Yay! And even though the setting in this book takes place in nature - I could use some of the real stuff. Ha Ha Now on to the rounds of edits during these rainy days! Here's to a new

Happy Haiku Monday! We don't mind gloomy days - normally – but December is different. At our house we call it "Dark Winter" because the time change, our distance from the equator, the time of year, and the rainy season give us very little sunlight for this month. So to compensate

Happy Haiku Monday! Sunshine and wind in exchange for rain today. We'll take it. But everything is green green green in the PNW - just how we love it! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to each of you in this new week!

Happy Haiku Monday! I've been enjoying a few relaxing holiday moments even as I finish up this round of edits for the newest Fox Walker Novel and spend some time in nature. What have you been up to? Here's to a new week - and soon a New Year!

Happy Haiku Monday! Finding a few moments of peace and relaxation during the holiday season is always so precious. I hope you find some time for you - too! Here's to a new week and a New Year!

Happy Haiku Monday! This time of year, with all the rains, everything is green, green, green — AND we often find little hidden treasures in the woodlands, like this teeny-tiny toadstool growing on a huge fallen tree. Reminds me to never give up! Here's to a new week!

Happy Haiku Monday! Yes, it's been frosty mornings and bright sunshine afternoons—which means chilly temps for sure! So glad we finally moved the garden plants into the greenhouse last week. Sure enjoying getting some outside chores done without the rain. But we're always happy

Happy Haiku Monday! No, we don't have any snow here where we live, but I'm thinking of all the people in the US that received a big bunch of it over the weekend! Are you one of them??? I'm a bit jealous because I thought for sure that our cooler than usual winter would give us

Happy Haiku Monday! I'm a bit late on this but I'm traveling so I'm lucky to even get it posted! Ha Crazy warm weather this week - even for Southern California - so I'll enjoy it while I can. This photo was taken years ago at Swami's - for those of you who know the San Diego

Happy Haiku Monday! Enjoyed that lovely full moon during my visit to SoCal and now relishing being back home again - even though the chilly weather took a day to get used to! Ha Ha Here's to a brand new week!

Up here in the PNW it always amazes me how early in the season we begin to see signs of the approaching Spring. The Hellabores and Heather are blooming and the Daffodils are up—and it's barely February! What's happening in your neck of the woods?

Happy Haiku Monday! Yeah, it's a bit late in the day, but it's not midnight yet. Ha Ha Here's to a new week. Take on that challenge and give it your best- one step at a time...

Here's a first for me. Granted some of you may not understand my crazy excitement but I know some of you will understand. Late last night I noticed "something" was in the flat bird feeder outside my studio window. Thinking it was a rat, I was going to scare it away. But when I

Happy Haiku Monday! I love the moments spent in nature, whether sunny, cloudy, rainy or snowy. Each experience is special and helps me find balance in my life. Here's to a new week!

hey I know that everything feels bleak and barfy right now, but if it helps a little, please remember that sea stars can regenerate a lost limb and sloths can hold their breath for 40 minutes and all houseflies buzz in the key of F and otters hold hands while they sleep and

Happy Haiku Monday! Sunshine and warmer breezes are welcome! Woke to the robin's song and bright sunshine. That hint of spring to come - we'll take it. How is the promise of spring showing up at your place?

This made me laugh. I freakin' love goats. Keith sounds exceptional! LOL

Happy Haiku Monday! The daffodils are blooming in our yard and all the cherry trees and plum trees in our neighborhood are budding out. Spring is coming! How is spring showing up where you live?
