Fun with Ferrets
What animals make the best/worst pets? Ferrets were both the best and the worst pets. I loved them, they were funny little guys but they were smelly. I had to clean their habitat out every couple of days. They were nocturnal and wanted to play while the rest of us wanted to sleep.

Is it simply that it is mating season for all animals or is there more to it? Spring is a time of warmer temperatures and longer days. The sun shine brings … Continue reading Spring and Romance
Exhaustion and Rest
I feel like an old lady. How does an old lady feel? I need suspenders on my underwear to keep my a$$ from dragging. I know I’m older, but one little, eight year-old girl should not have the power to zap my batteries.

The general attitude of a place, piece of writing, or situation. To give strength or firmness to the body. To alter the color finish of a monochrome photo. As a writer, the … Continue reading What is Tone?
