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!
The Hill
THE HILL


The birds, cedars, calves and me,
are on the hill and wait to see
what the sky will bring.

Meadowlarks trill their tune,
sensing a storm will be here soon.
They flit about the field.

Cedars quietly tell their tale,
swaying gently in the gale.
Whispering things to come.

In the pasture, calves are playing
while nearby mama's laying,
having no cares at all.

Me, I'm keeping watchful eye
west and south, up to the sky
for sign of storms portending.

A change occurs, all is still
atop my lonely, little hill.
Thunder calls my name.
