| Introduction | I live in a very rural area surrounded by state forest with an older brother, two dogs, and quite a few stray cats running around. The coyotes come up to the barn at night and yip and howl loudly waking the dogs who jump start my day by 'yelling' back in challenge. The ground may one day be ready for gardening again, but the question remains if I will be, especially doing it alone. I've got to get this alone thing down, I'm not very good at it which doesn't sit well with my preferred rural lifestyle. I should write more often than I do. I'd really like to write.... |
