Save Them All (Book) - 4/2/2008 7:51:55 AM
This looks like it may be a good read for my summer vacation this year in Vermont (I live in Florida) I moved inland a year ago from the beach and I'm getting to hate it. Do you live near the outer banks? I particularly fond of doing anything to help animals especially shore related (they are under even greater stress.) I've rescued many a sea-bird and taken them to rehabilitators in Daytona Beach. (I used to be a fisherman) I miss the world you are probably a part of daily... I'll check Amazon unless you can rec. where I can get it cheaper (almost broke writer/musician)
Best of luck, michael guy

Cute story. I agree - book fairs, conventions, expos and workshops are the best way to connect with writers and book lovers. Hope to see you as a "Big Head/Big Shoes" some day. All the best, Donelle

I had a similar experience as a child with a wolf I saw in an enclosure. And again, with a killer whale in Sea World that was the initiative for me to quit a job I hated and take up writing fulltime. It's amazing the impact that animals can have on our lives if we just let them... Thanks for your recent comment and I hope you'll visit us at PetsWeekly.com and at our forum at http://petsweekly.ning.com/ to share your wildlife rescue experiences with everyone. Meanwhile, I look forward to reading more of your work!
Best,
Stacy

I guess given what's going on in the "natural habits" of such animals, I have to agree with your view on zoos now. It's a lesser of two evils, as long as the animals are cared for well. Still, the few times I've visited, I've had mixed emotions on them.
Still planning on buying your incredible book, but October looks like the first oppurtunity. I know you (and fulltime workers) find that hard to believe, but it is actually expensive for me; (though I'm sure worth every penny)
In the meantime, I'd like to read your articles with such interesting 2-word titles!
And, this writing is excellent by the way! With so few words you delivered a complete story with imagery, emotions, reflections - If that's what is delivered in your book(s) it is well done indeed.
I'll try the articles soon...
best regards, michael

Happy endings like this one are always truly marvelous to behold!
Feathered Time (Short Story) - 8/22/2007 10:07:59 AM
Fantastic story, Linda. I have a bank of windows in my kitchen that overlook the woods and creek behind my house. One of my greatest pleasures is watching the various birds that come to my feeders. Sparkly snowflake clings adorn my windows summer and winter to prevent just this very thing, but sometimes it happens anyway. It is always such a relief when they gather their wits and fly away. I truly enjoyed this story.

Well make sure they pay for the crime and stick to the law. There is always going to be a crook out there.
Homes will be built and I have always said if they are going to continue to cut down the trees, then they should have to plant two for everyone removed. Thank you for sharing.

Love, What's With That? (Article) - 10/19/2007 7:43:35 PM
I seem to only be able to write when I'm at one end or the other of the emotional spectrum. ecstacy or misery. what I wouldn't give to live the rest of my days in that wonderful in-between and never write again.
Pubfishing (Article) - 8/22/2007 11:20:18 PM
I really enjoyed reading your good advice.I'm Currently finishing my first Novel "A Baser Kingdom". With this in mind, my first thought is for it to be read by as many as possible. I have two other books published, none of them with any popular publishers. However, there still is the joy of knowing someone still gets to read my work.
The Day (Poetry) - 8/19/2009 12:02:35 PM
Thanks Fee. I've been consumed this past year with helping Mom live as she wished, independently. She just couldn't realize how much care she really needs. It's a wonderful facility (they call it "A Village," with a gracious, caring and sensitive staff. It's a beautiful environment with lots of amenities that register with me, but I don't think she takes all that in. Sometimes she understands why she's there and other times, not so much, but she's already quite taken with the activity room and doesn't want to be bothered when she's painting. : ) Visits will happen often. Thanks again for your insight and support.
The Day (Poetry) - 8/18/2009 12:36:11 PM
The decision to place a loved one in a home or special facility is often the most difficult one we may make in our lifetime. It is never taken lightly and in most cases it is in the best interest of the ones we vow to cherish. The placement in such a facility is though not the issue so much as will we find or make the time to go there every opportunity we have to visit them and let them know they have not been deserted. I often complained of the time my wife spent visiting each night and weekend with her mother in such a place, but the truth is the woman passed away this summer and was never forgotten even for one day.

Beautiful Morning To you Linda,
I have a coopers hawk who claims my yard as part of his territory too.
One year I attracted over 200 sparrows to my morning glories (which also took claim of my entire front porch & awning/roof) this coopers hawk would swoop in & fly right past my face...aurgh!! He & his mate also perched on my banisters, mostly the female. It was quite startling to be so close to talons that year. I was screaming all the time till I took down the morning glories the sparrows roosted in....
Much Love & Blessings of Mother Earth

As much as I love nature and nature loves me,
I cant seem to escape the occasional backyard fatality.
I can't either, but Nature has her own ways, and we are usually powerless to stop her.
Backyard Fatality . . . . . . (Poetry) - 10/12/2008 8:36:52 PM
All a part of the cycle of life and you have captured the moment well....
Be always safe,

Backyard Fatality . . . . . . (Poetry) - 10/12/2008 7:44:14 PM
I used to live at a place where our neighbouring cat kept coming over to our yard to tease our cat that sits at the window, got our cat all upset and excited. We tried to shoot water at the neighbor's cat with a water gun. It worked for a while, then it got used to it.
The apples were always half eaten by the squirrels and the raccoons and laid on the ground and we had to pick them up; but it was fun though. I love the backyard and the nature!
Wonderful write and a thought-provoking piece!

Love does often unfold a destiny unlike what our expectaions seen.
Love's Slender is worth all
"Depleted from battle I had not won, the wholeness became two again, and I cannot face the sun."
Then perhaps in time to face a new sunrise
