Something to ponder

"A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit."  ~ Richard Bach

The Trilliums are blooming

Even though our spring is so cool, the Trilliums are making an appearance.

Writer's quote

"There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they'll take you." ~ Beatrix Potter

My dear, sweet Mom

After leaving my hometown for more than 30 years, destiny brought me back home. My relationship with my mother grew stronger and I cherished the 11 years we had together before she lost her memories. Her birthday was on May 10 and sometimes would fall on Mother's Day. Mom died three days after her 92nd birthday - ten years ago.

Thoughts on writing

"Writing should be a happy experience without any pressure. The end result is words on the page. Publishing is just an added bonus."   ~ Phillip Margolin

"Rather than being a writer, I was a narrator of the movie in my brain."  ~ Herschel Cobb

Is it spring yet?

In just spring, the daffodils are...the snow is no more. It is time we welcome spring and beg it to stay around until the warm breezes usher in summer.
