A Room Full of Rainbows

A Room Full of Rainbows

Rainbows! On a sunny day, my bedroom is filled with them. They may not be in arches, like the ones we see in the sky, but the bright colors are there, a part of a rainbow on my wall, a smidgen on the floor, a little dab on the ceiling. The room is warm, sunny, […]

Moonlight Can Be Deceitful

Moonlight Can Be Deceitful

Moonlight lies like a blessing along the roof of the old church, silvering the dark shingles. Like solemn eyes, the windows reflect the still light.

The moon exerts a pretty powerful pull on the earth, causing the tides. […]

Not in a robin’s natural diet but […]

A Mighty Mysterious Moon

A Mighty Mysterious Moon

This weekend we are supposed to have another of those blue moons. Now, a blue moon isn’t really blue; it’s what the second full moon in a month is called. Of course, this brought to mind my first Ned McNeil adventure, Moonlight Can Be Murder. I’ve re-read one of the Amazon 5-star reviews: Blanche Day Manos […]
