‘Tis the eve of All Hallows. Gus embarks on a jaunt to The Lodge at Devil’s Canyon, his Mummy’s favorite haunt. Flying in the dark, astride his sister’s broom, the wee ghoul soars in his snowman costume. Until *putt-putt-poot* the broom starts to roll— The gas tank is empty!

PASS THE AWESOME SAUCE, PLEASE

Posted on September 25, 2015 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

The fog had not yet cleared, the air had a nip to it that warranted wearing a light jacket, and I was dang happy that Lucy did not step on the snake that popped from the underbrush and slithered across … Continue reading →

THE HOUSE OF HANGING WORDS

Posted on September 18, 2015 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

Can you think of a better place than an entire house filled with books and art for a group of writers and artists to meet once a month to dive into craft? I can’t. Besides lending itself to good company, tasty nibbles, and an occasional … Continue reading →

CELESTIAL MUSINGS

Posted on September 9, 2015 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

Do stars look to the heavens and marvel at their surroundings? Might they gossip over a neighbor’s blueshift or trails of cosmic dust as they redshift on their path to eternity?

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY

Posted on August 27, 2015 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

TRANSMOGRIFICATION SIMPLIFIED

Posted on July 9, 2015 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

What ho, a door in the forest? Looks harmless. Unless it opens to a land rife with malodorous trolls, attacking arachnids, or hellacious cannibals. Or it could hold nothing but a peek into the lives of the inhabitants of a neighboring town, as … Continue reading →
