June is Pride Month



Considering the genre of my books, I figured I ought to give PRIDE MONTH a shout out!

Love is Love

Here are the covers of my latest books.

Book 1 ~ published October 2019


Book 2 ~ published May 2020



Book 3 ~ to be released February 2021






The book I'm hoping to publish in October only has a working title that I'm not fond of and hence no cover, although I maybe ought to get on that. :0)

The Birds are Back in Town


Since the advent of filling the bird feeder and making it available, we been visited by all kinds of birds.

Cardinals
Blue Jays
Woodpeckers
Mourning Doves
various finches
American Robin
Mockingbirds
various sparrows
the occasional chickadee
possibly a Starling

There are probably more species that I just can't identify, but we have a nice mix and it's a lot of fun to watch them come and go and to listen to them chittering and chirping of a Saturday morning.

The Jays and the Mockingbirds both like to chase the squirrels, but they occasional crack seed together as the squirrels are also fans of the birdseed.

Now DD and I have tried to get some squirrel corn, but the fates have worked against us so far as the two times we've gone to the local feed store, they'd closed a mere few minutes prior to our arrival. Walmart does not carry squirrel corn, hence our attempted trips to the feed store. Tomorrow!

Here are some not-so-great pictures...

Male cardinal in the grass...

 Male blue jay in the grass...

Female cardinal and some black bird that I can't positively identify...



Have a great weekend! Stay safe and take care.

The US Goes Back to Space


What should have been forefront in the news and much cause for celebration has been pushed aside due to more pressing and saddening events taking place across our nation.

But I'd like to give the Space Launch its due. For the first time in close to a decade, the US went to space. It was so fun to watch. And is hopefully just the first step on our way to a Space Force, which we are in desperate need of.

So I took some pictures of the TV and I'd like to commemorate that.

RIP George Floyd


Our country is in a bad place. Still. Years later.

It should not be this way and yet...here we still are.

I know few details, but I do know this:

George Floyd's death was tragic, unnecessary, and horrific. The officers (who no longer deserves that title) should rot in jail.

I don't often comment on things of this nature, but it's time for the United States to get its collective act together and hold people accountable for their actions, no matter their position of authority, their financial status (or lack thereof), their color, their religion, or their sexual orientation. or anything else.

All men are supposed to be equal... Why aren't they treated that way?
