Deep down in the holler, pick the tallest pine dig it real deep where the roots touch mine

Good chilly morning. Podrick was a good boy this morning, and to me, felt like he was sucking crystals fingers mere inches from my ear. It was loud. I rolled out of bed, and closed the door behind me. I opened the curtains and got the kittens breakfast ready. I…

A licky boom boom down

Shawshank, November 7, 2020

Welcome to week one of Full Dark, No Stars for the Lockup Library Book Club. It’s been an insanely busy week here, between working on the farm, or watching the elections, I haven’t had too much of a chance to read. I got a good chunk of the story finished….
