I was awakened in the wee hours of the morning by my phone ringing. I fumbled in the darkness until I found it. When I answered, the bright sun of Cambodia greeted me. Getting a Face Time call from the other side of the planet is one of my favorite ways to awaken. As I … Continue reading Sunrise and Sunset

The Tractor Beam
As I rode with my windows down and the sunroof open, it seemed the pull of a tractor beam grabbed the jeep. My foot, in opened toed sandals, pushed the gas forward into the force which beckoned me. The car moved towards its own destination despite my best intentions to turn it towards the piles … Continue reading The Tractor Beam
Winter Walk
It is white in White County today. The snow from yesterday mostly melted, but was replaced with a fresh blanket this morning. Stepping into my snow boots I decided to take a walk into the quiet. I love it you know…that fresh and clean look that makes every picture look like a black and white … Continue reading Winter Walk
A Tribute to the Sparrows
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10:30 This is one of my favorite verses. Somehow it … Continue reading A Tribute to the Sparrows
Chasing the Moon
Earlier in the week I was leaving work as the sun was setting. There was a pink glow on the horizon behind me and in front of me, as I rounded a curve I saw the moonrise. It is my favorite time to moon-watch because it is bigger on the horizon than later when it … Continue reading Chasing the Moon
Fog or Mist?
Have you ever taken notice of the differences between fog and mist? I hadn’t paid much attention to it either…clouds are clouds right? Last night, I cruised down some back roads. It was dark, but clear overhead thanks to the storms that had made their way through and cleansed the air. The temperature light on … Continue reading Fog or Mist?
A Game of Tag
I have a fan that has gone blind. She tells me that when she hears my writing she can see again. Her husband reads to her from my book each day. Sometimes I write descriptive nature pieces just for her…this is one of those times. There is a black cloud creeping up behind the mountain … Continue reading A Game of Tag
Summer Simplicity
I took a stroll to the mail box just in time for a summer shower. Once I got back up to my front porch swing, I was taken with how the sound of pouring rain in the woods is so similar to the sound of a waterfall. Rushing to the ground, it slides over the … Continue reading Summer Simplicity
Breaking Dawn
I am surrounded by darkness and silence. It is moments before the dawn and I am once again awake. My body doesn’t appear to know that it is summer and I no longer have to rise before the sun. I tip toe onto the porch of my parents’ home so as not to awaken those … Continue reading Breaking Dawn
Change
I love this time of year when the mountains are changing their clothes…taking off the drab browns and grays of winter and putting on the multidimensional greens of spring. As I drive along the back roads, which are most roads around where I live, the changes are evident. Pollen is thick, the breeze is still … Continue reading Change
