‘Tis the Season

There’s a new story over @ HorseFamilyMagazine.com: ‘Tis the Season. Cecil the horse learns how to make a comfy blankie…ahem blanket, and that hay isn’t just for horses. Be sure to trot on over and give it a read.

The Great Apple

The Great Apple, the fifth story in the Critters That Call the Farm Home Book Series premiered todayon 11/11/11. This weekend would have been my great-grandparent’s 100th and 101st birthdays as well. I thought this would be a special day to premiere the new book about Cecil the horse and the night when he finds “The Great Apple.”

Denver Post Slideshow

Imagine my surprise at receiving a few kind e-mails about the Aurora poem and the photos on Spaceweather.com. One of those was from The Denver Post who wanted to feature some images in their “Auroras Across the Country” slideshow; featuring photos from many states even some down South. Happily five of those were taken right here in Family Farm Country. Be sure to watch the show; especially if you were unable to see the real one on the 24th. It is quite a beautiful collection, especially those starter ones in Michigan.

October Auroras

A hazy green fogged the Big Dipper at the twilight of a crisp fall night. Streaks of Red darted upward just on the edge of eyesight.

Apples Anonymous

There’s a new story over @ Horse Family Magazine. A tale for a crispy fall night sitting under harvest moonlight; with your horse munching on an apple. Please not too many apples. Cecil may think a bushel of apples a day keeps the doctor away, but fermentation isn’t recommended for other horses.
