my November view
captured before winds swirled
leaving me adrift
I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects. View more posts

Thank you, Lynette! I am really trying to enjoy all of the colors here before they disappear. I took Charlie to a County park so we could get a nice walk on a path today and there were plenty of trees in full color. I took a bunch of pictures of him, the water, and the trees. βΊοΈ

Very nice! I love autumn. Here is an autumn haiku for you.
Crimson leaf
rides atop a crystal stream
hurtles toward winter
