We call this one the Penguin Slide... I'm not the kind of person who laughs at others' misfortunes -- including penguins -- but I admit this video made me laugh. As a lifetime resident of New England, where we're super embarrassed if we slip and fall on the ice, it's nice to know that even … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Penguin Slide
Fun Photo Friday! Who better to make sense of the state of the U.S. presidential election than a child armed with crayons? 😂
I think most of us can relate to this one! Who thought COVID overload would turn into Halloween fatigue?
This photo hits all the seasonal themes: fall yardwork, Halloween, foliage....and I do believe those skeletons have socially distanced themselves -- except for the poor guy under the front of the tractor.
I joked in this post last year that the Halloween of the future might devolve into costumed parents driving by homes and tossing candy to the kids in their yards.

I think a lot of writers suffer from midnight inspiration, for better or worse. I’m almost done with the first act of my new manuscript (about a group of Millennials grappling with life’s choices and social justice issues), and am happy to report I've found a way to work with these sometimes unwelcome thoughts. Typically, … Continue reading Life of a Writer: Midnight Inspiration
Pretty pictures of wildlife and nature always perk me up, but they're even better when you take them yourself! So I bring you today's Fun Photo Friday post: I snapped this tiny butterfly feeding on a hot-pink coneflower in my small flower garden the other day. It looks a bit like the orange-and-black Monarch butterfly … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Tiny Butterfly
