The one where I misread "sweet peas" as "snow peas" I jumped through the long grass and wildflowers, playfully chasing butterflies and bees. My human, Evelyn, was nestled against her favorite tree, not too far from me, reading a book she’d picked up at the library yesterday. I’ve been with her since she was coming … Continue reading Snap Dragons & Snow Peas

When you were new (ish) to town and the word “grump” was a prominent part of your name, the definition of the word attached itself to the human. “Stone” on the other hand—now … Continue reading Mrs. Grumplestone’s Visit
It's technically the time in between night and sunrise. Time is a weird soup. For all the humans who want to run away but choose to stay and lean in it--their faith, their strengths and values, their people. Grabbing her jacket from the chair, she slipped her arms into the patched light denim and pushed … Continue reading Midnight Promises
Oh the reading adventures I took during June, July, and August! Well we're about halfway through the summer months at the time I start this, but this is a much greater head start than the past couple posts in this series, so I'm counting it as a win. June kicked off the summer adventures with … Continue reading Summer 2023 Reads

Remember when I wrote 50,000+ words last November and I told you all I was going to write about it? And then never finished the ending? Well, this post is the almost-conclusion. Because NaNoWriMo is back (in eight days!) and I’ve gotten a burst to finish last year’s series out 🙂 This post is made … Continue reading The Penultimate Day // Day 29
