Kentucky voters, do you know what Issue 2 is? It is a proposal to amend the Constitution of our state by adding this statement “To protect human life, nothing in this constitution shall be construed to secure or protect a right to abortion or require the funding of abortion.” Since the US Supreme Court ruling…… Continue reading Vote Kentucky
Seeing is Believing or NOT
Three separate incidents of Seeing or NOT: #1. One day last week I stepped out of my house, my little dog on her leash, ready for our morning walk. Facing east (I take the same route every day) on Borderlands Drive I suddenly see a tall gray electric tower shaped like a skinny monster insect…… Continue reading Seeing is Believing or NOT
End Times
Bombed theater in Mariupol, Ukraine “END TIMES” I have heard these words three times in last two days, not counting the email links, Facebook posts and texts from well-meaning family and friends. And I do understand where this is coming from. Indeed, the world is in crisis. And many of us instinctively feel the aura…… Continue reading End Times
Kentucky Hike
View of Doe Run Lake from Erlanger, KY. Me and Little Girl, my little four-legged companion, took a hike this morning. Or should I say I tried to take a hike. I’ve been planning this hike for a while now, waiting for the perfect weather- not too hot or wet – and the best time…… Continue reading Kentucky Hike

My Lifelong Love Affair With a Bug
My red-eyed Bug-Beau Cicadas in N. Kentucky It started in 1953 in Dayton, Kentucky, a small town on the Ohio River, the year I was born. Of course I don’t remember meeting him, since I was only two months old when he arrived. But I do recall the fossilized shell of one of his nymphs.…… Continue reading My Lifelong Love Affair With a Bug
Suffer Fools Lightly
I have not been able to write anything coherent for the last few days regarding what happened in our Capitol this week. My mind is a mess, my heart is heavy, I feel like a loved one has just died. I am raw. But something different emerged in me yesterday. Anger. Pure unadulterated visceral righteous…… Continue reading Suffer Fools Lightly
Here’s Your Sign
A redbird came knocking. I looked up from my comfy spot on the sectional. I just wrote a letter to my friend. Through my tears, I saw the beautiful cardinal on my sliding glass door looking at me. He knocked again, his beak tapping the glass. “Hello”, I said, or thought. A few seconds…… Continue reading Here’s Your Sign
The In-Between Time
We are in the In-Between Time. All of us on this planet are. For me personally, this strange place started last year, when Joe and I began talking about our future. We discussed many possible paths we could take. Most seem(ed) very plausible. Some not so much. We are still in this discussion stage. Nothing…… Continue reading The In-Between Time
Nothing New Under the Sun
I haven’t been writing on my blog for some time now. I just couldn’t bring myself to write one more snarky political opinion piece about the shit-show in Washington and the great divide. I do not delude myself into thinking that what I write will change a person’s mind. But now I feel something different…… Continue reading Nothing New Under the Sun
