If you dream it, do it!
In the early morning hours, the dark night sky fades through several shades of blue lapis, Aegean, spruce, and stone. Then it’s as if a paintbrush magically sweeps several orange swirls of marigold, tangerine, ginger, and apricot across the horizon. Dawn is the sun’s way of stretching, rising, and readying for a new day. Each… Continue reading If you dream it, do it!

The Painted Dog Prompt 2/15/22 was a super fun writing challenge posted on the Stine Writing Blog!

I would sit with Dad in the cockpit sometimes all night long, plus down below was stuffy and it made me nauseous. The cold air and salty sprays of the Pacific Ocean would… Continue reading Rainbows
Pup and the Purple Unicorn
Standing on the hard concrete, I stared in the appliance store window at the news on a television that had apparently been placed on sale today. A reporter standing outside the Dollar General, a store I knew so very well, was talking into the camera. I couldn’t hear what she was saying, but the store… Continue reading Pup and the Purple Unicorn
