  1. A case of (un)fortunate nostalgia

    by , 12-24-2011 at 11:23 PM (Nostalgia)
    I've been dreaming of Cherokee Park a lot lately, and I'm not sure why. I do miss it terribly, and the other night as I was falling asleep I had this flashback out of the blue of a Sunday morning gathering the herd off Goat Mountain. It is one of my more treasured memories with my beloved pony.


    The dust from the brushing still hovers about the lean-to barn as I heave Hurcules, my saddle, down the stairs and towards my horse. He eyeballs me- not nervously, but knowing what ...

  4. Great female writers

    by , 12-21-2011 at 08:38 AM (Reflections on the puddle of life)
