Blog

In 2017, my first blogpost was written to honor the memory of my beloved Riley. He was our family dog and he knew the answer to “Who’s a good boy?” was always “Me, I’m a good boy!” because we told him so every day. If you know me or follow my blog, you know I’m a dog lover. You also know that even though my heart needed time to mend, I found a new four-legged love who is featured often, and also a very good boy!

Since 2017 I’ve used the blog as a way to share my photography, observations about the beauty of nature, things that inspire me and touch my heart.

In January 2021, I added interviews with authors and illustrators each with a giveaway. The writing community has been such a supportive and encouraging element of my life that during Covid, adding interviews helped me stay connected. In 2023, I cut back to two interviews per month and they became less frequent in 2025. As 2026 begins, author interviews will be sporadic as the blog continues to grow and change.

In 2023 I committed to two weekly challenges. Wordless Wednesday a photograph, no title, no caption. Haiku Saturday (sample below) a photograph and a haiku. The haiku does not need to follow the 5/7/5 rule but mine generally do and I only share my own photography. To my knowledge, this challenge originated on Twitter. As 2026 begins, I will no longer be participating in Haiku Saturday regularly if at all. I will be sharing more about books I’m reading and other writing related posts. Wordless Wednesday will continue as a regular feature.
