Traveling the back roads . . . . Fiction by Karen Hopkins. July 27, 2016. Challenge 1, Group 1: science fiction; include an animal quarantine facility and a scone. Hancock nodded at the skinny, four-eyed public servant and wondered to himself where in the universe they’d found an Isovenutian willing to work in the intermediate space station holding area. But it was good luck for him. Isovenutians weren’t detail oriented, but they did like to deal. And they loved pastry. Don’t call me Mah! They had to pro...

Traveling the back roads . . . . Fiction by Karen Hopkins. Newer posts →. April 3, 2015. Why are you crying? Your mother is finally free, She feels better now, etc. etc.” Quickly I stepped in and told our unhappy friend it’s alright to grieve. Even more, it’s a good thing to express sadness at the death of a loved one. With that she turned to the critical woman and said, “I just miss her,” justifying her feelings. What is it about death? That she will see him again? Let’s cry and laugh together. I smiled...

Karne's korner: life in the garden. Friday, May 6, 2011. Working in the garden. And something else. The living water? Pulling weeds I thought of this "There is order in all things" and I thought it must be our job to find it. I mean left to themselves the weeds would wreak havoc, where now they are tortoise food! They never even imagined they were putting all that energy into growing up so I could pull them out for tortoise food. I do know this. There is hardly a nicer way to start a day. Boehner Says Mo...

Karne's korner: life in the garden. Sunday, July 15, 2012. Road trip part 2. Home again, Home again. . . After spending five and a half days at Donner Lake, relaxing in the tall pines, exploring and hiking a little, we were faced with the fact that somehow we had to make it home again. (Before starting for home though, I must say that Donner Lake had one of the best 4th of July celebrations I remember in a long time. Everyone at the Lake is an obvious patriot! Glad to be home! Tuesday, July 3, 2012.

Karne's korner: life in the garden. Thursday, November 3, 2011. Deja Vu all over again. But they had three dogs: 2 pit bulls and an old, much loved shaggy little dog. I am not a dog person generally. We were going to move the younger boys into one room, but I did not want dogs in the house. I thought it was reasonable for big dogs to be outside dogs, they disagreed. We compromised (? This was in Arizona in late summer. Now a younger son has moved home with his fiance and 11 month old baby. No dogs. Prett...

Karne's korner: life in the garden. Monday, April 18, 2011. OK I've listened to the news. But outside the sun is shining, corn shoots are poking through the soil, broccoli is getting bigger on every broccoli plant, onions are in bloom- yes I let them go too long again! And the melons, squash, cucumbers, etc are showing their little sets of leaves. Grapes clusters are forming, peaches and nectarines are there in their infancy. . . Hope is in the air, at least in the back yard. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Karne's korner: life in the garden. Thursday, September 6, 2012. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 2012. How quickly they grow. I watch my eighteen month old granddaughter walk out to the garage, wait while I fill a little bucket with dog food, take it in her two hands, turn and carry it through the house and out the back door. She doesn't spill; she walks with assurance. Two months ago she couldn't reach doorknobs; now she opens doors. She wants to be independent adamantly. In bounds the wide-awake sneaky one! So we ...

Karne's korner: life in the garden. Monday, December 26, 2011. I hope your Christmas was Merry and that your New Year is happy! So many good things happen each day, let’s see if I can remember a few. Grandchildren: We have visited with all five of our grandchildren this year. And they are wonderful! Nola and Talia came to visit for a couple of weeks before school started. We had a good time every day. We are just waiting to get the whole family out here from NYC! Steven is working construction at the bor...
