Soap Foam in the River?
















This summer I noticed pockets of what looked like dish water suds pile up in different places along the river bank. The photo is of yellowish tinted frozen foam.

December's Temperament


The blessings of winter are all around when fat flakes of snow are falling. In the quiet hush of early morning with a hot cup of fresh brewed coffee, or tea held in both hands, my window view to the outside world is delightful.
It is my pleasure to provide a banquet for my feathered friends. My yard is a peaceful heaven, my table set with the prosperous bounty of autumn's delights, saved for such occasions.

The Mystery of Parallel Worlds


A woman once ask me, "Do you see and hear things other people don't?" I answered, "Yes." Of course I would like people to believe me, and yet I don't care what most people think of me as much as I use to. Maybe because I enjoy writing science fiction and fantasy stories where magic and reality meet, some people think I just make up everything from my imagination. The truth is, I don't.
While driving back to my cabin one afternoon, I felt intune, it was a beautiful sunny day. A nondescript pickup truck passed me going in the opposite direction. For some reason I took a quick look in the rearview mirror and then pulled to a stop. "That's not possible" I said to myself, as I grabbed my camera and took a photo. I walked around noteing my tire tracks and my footprints left on the dirt road, then got back into my truck.
When I was a little girl, my Daddy taught me and my brother David to be a pretty good trackers. I have to laugh while writing this blog post, "Who's going believe me that while driving on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, someone in a pickup truck from a parallel world crossed my path and left no tracks?" I guess those people that know me might believe me, and that's enough to help maintain my sanity when such things happen in my life. I'm really glad to be able to experience such phenomenon, and yet, I'm glad to have a good sense of humor which keeps me in balance  By-the-way, my dog Sarah was with me, and she hasn't said a word about the incident, if she ever does, I'm in big trouble.
