Oh, her hummingbirds surely did love this sweet nectar! And the bees – some days she believed they swarmed under the trees in the back yard, just waiting for her to fill the feeders and the cups [Continue reading] This builds on last week’s Friday Flash Fiction: Barbara looked at her daughter.

It radically [Continue reading] Driving through our nation’s capitol on December 23rd — especially following a record-breaking snowstorm — is not a good idea.
