Getting Acquainted
I spend most of my time playing alpha female for my pack of dogs. Lucy (Boston terrier), Harley (chihuahua). Hershey (miniature dachshund) and Jasper (standard schnauzer) are my entertainment and sometimes muses. Jasper is a puppy mill rescue dog and I'm in the intital stages of writing a series of vignettes of his life since the rescue contrasted with eduaction about rescues and puppy mills. I do actually have other interests than writing and my dogs. I love to scrapbook, watch ice hockey, listen to a variety of music genres and reading. My parents both were avid readers and passed that love on to me. I'll read a cereal box if you set it in front of me!
Summer's Ire
Summer's Ire

Fire ants, cottonwood
allergies a' screaming
Tall grass, hot tar roads
mosquitoes are a' teeming

Hot wind, sticky sweat
how can one love this?
Heat-blue sky, suntan lines
are stuff I would not miss

This time of year I despise
with all the "joys" it brings
Think I'll just hibernate
and wait till winter sings
