Spring is just around the corner.   I can feel it in my bones. Along with the advent of flowers and baby geese which might take over our yard this year I anticipate the return of the hummingbirds.  I love these guys.  They always amaze Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts, Writing/ 25 Comments/ 552

When did it become acceptable to be mean and not kind?  In my world it is NOT acceptable but I have seen it time and time again and it is eating at me. Comments about a performer ‘s stomach. Comments about an outfit that someone Continue reading →
