Writing is hard work and low or no pay

but the rewards are tremendous. God is love, so ask yourself if what you are about to do is an act of love and you will know right from wrong. 

Corinthians 13:4–8a (English Standard Version)
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. (ESV)

And so it becomes easy to determine who's hand is guiding your world.

Many fear such talk, why?

Sad to report that our Red was killed yesterday in the yard.  She free ranged for 3 1/2 years and pecked on our front door to get cookies.  She was a joy and will be terribly missed.  She had the markings of a weasel kill. Now we only have Norma L. and she acted very frightened today.  She hid under the trailer when I wasn't out with her. She is the last of the flock. Tomorrow I am leaving Norma in the coup.

Sunday, a day to enjoy bouquets of wild flowers and thanking God.

Far from the hearts of twisted minds.

The Hooded Merganser

The Hooded Merganser is very illusive so it is difficult to get an accurate count but it is believed that their population is on the rise.

This momma has babies but keeps them hidden and we haven't been able to get a good count. 

The prefer wooded ponds, sluggish rivers, lakes in summer and shallow saltwater bays.

I threw in these two ducks for yucks.

A mallard and a Khaki Campbell.

Thomas Kincaid Chicken

 

Winter 2014 found our chickens hunkered down in their toasty warm coop.

 

Glad winter is over.

 

Now the tulips are in bloom!

Windgate Winery in Indiana County, Pa.

We drove seventy miles to Windgate Winery today. Windgate is located on an unpaved road tucked in the hills of Pennsylvania. It was a gathering of authors, approximately twenty five in attendance. It inspires a person to do such things and meet authors sharing their voice. Everyone we talked to offered suggestions and insights into the craft. The owner of the winery is a lovely and cordial lady. We have attended writer's conferences in the past but this experience offered the market end perspective and struggle. It is my hope that such venues become popular and duplicated. This was their fifth year and if they hold it again next year I will there! Had a ball, if you weren't there you lose.
