The Forgotten Tree
Time was long, and the days were short. Still, the tree stayed standing. It was a pear tree widely known for producing the best pears in the town. Every year, people had come to take the sweet fruit that hung from the branches, and the tree gave willingly. The tree had always had a pleasant life in its little meadow. The tree had always loved when people came to eat its fruit. The humans always had a smile on their faces when they left with the crisp fruit plucked from the branches of the tree.

Wake Up When September Ends
Out the door and down the two burnt red-orange tiled steps, quietly across the driveway with the corner crack that always has a yellow dandelion growing out of it and onto the long, narrow, and dwindling sidewalk. The dawn having yet to break, I can hear the soft "coos" of doves sitting on the wires above.

A taste of Colorado's Seasons
Every year it seems to blend into one day. At least most of the time. It’s hard to remember what happened when. But thank goodness for the season. Without them, we wouldn’t live long on earth. I have noticed the different seasons that often pass by, regardless. Although in Colorado, we seem to have 2, 3 each year.

"Diary of a Great White Shark"
This is dedicated to my granddaughter, Faith, who is fascinated with sharks. I gave her a shark book when we were all on vacation together. Not an appropriate bedtime story, you say? Perhaps... But, Faith loved reading about the extraordinary abilities of sharks when she was a young girl—especially about Great White Sharks. May she always care about and appreciate all creatures, great and small. I hope you enjoy reading a Great White Shark's perspective from conception to death, as a guardian of the seas.

Is Paper Made From Wood?
The paper, which is made by draining most of the water from the suspension of plant fibres, is known as pulp. Nowadays most of the paper is made from pulp, but it can be also made from other vegetable sources such as hemp, cotton and of course recycled paper. This video shows the technology, machines and people that power clearwater paper that is used to turn pulp into paper towels, face cloths, napkins and bathroom tissues.

Beverly's Window Gardens
One of the things that has bought me new immense joy, excitement, and hope during Corona virus 2020-2021.This idea is Beverly's Windows Garden's. When the epidemic first started, I began to hear a lot of complaints and fears from normally strong people. I then realized that people for the first time were experiencing an unknow new level of encountering a new traumatic disease, depression, financial difficulty, and varied degrees of fear.
