What’s been going on with me in our little mountain village this September:
Mountain Mutts – Joy’s Tale
(published in the Lake City Silver World, September 4, 2020)
When a new puppy named Joy joins the family she struggles to be accepted by the older dog, Spring.
How have you celebrated milestones and special events during COVID-19. Do you feel safe going out? Do you wear a mask? Do you know a healthcare provider or someone who has gotten the virus? Are you doing ok?
We are ever so grateful for our blessings.
In this time of the worldwide pandemic do you especially find nature soothing – how so?
I feel so energetic living in nature!! My senses are alive as fresh air fills my lungs, the running river and birds sing, that earthy smell makes me smile.
My husband and I returned home from a memorable trip to Italy at the end of October 2019. We were shocked a few weeks later about the flooding where we had recently been in Vince and then again a few months later about the Coronavirus in Italy.
Often in these days of the pandemic thoughts can weigh heavily
While being ‘one with nature’ I don’t think about anything else
These nesting osprey were a gift of being in the right
place at the right time…
Watching both parents feed the screaming chick was
an incredible experience
I am both writer and photographer – sometimes in nature
there’s just not the words…
Steep hike up to this ‘hidden’ waterfall
It feels so good being able to climb like this – so alive, being
connected to nature…living in the mountains, writing,
photographing and walking…in nature…
Little flying jewels
Since I’m still very much getting use to our new very heavy camera I’m particularly proud of this ‘in flight’ photograph
It’s been scientifically proved that being close to nature reduces stress and tension
What is your connection to nature?
Another beyond beautiful, blue sky day in the mountains!!! With our new camera, I was on my way to the lake this morning by 6:30, without the dogs who wondered why they weren’t going – it was so cold – my fingers didn’t want to cooperate with the camera – the sun never came over the mountain while I was there this morning – still – what a J-O-Y~!!
Earth Day
After waking to a dark, early morning, heavy spring snow – the sun has come out to create a picturesque day. The dogs and I just walked the nature trail.

Hope & Joy
Preparing a colorfully pleasing, tasty
and healthy meal is so satisfying!
Bless us, Oh Lord, and these thy gifts
which we are about to receive from thy bounty,
through Christ, Our Lord.
Last year our town rooster was wearing a life jacket as we prepared for flooding, having endured a winter with unprecedented snowfall – this year the rooster is prepared for keeping the Coronavirus AWAY!!!
Who knew this March 8th ritual would be our last social gathering for…indefinitely.
