Canada Goose (Branta Canadensis)

One of the delights of spring is the return of the Canada Geese as they pause on their way to their chosen nesting grounds farther North. An awesome great bird weighing up to 14 pounds with up to a 73 inch wingspan. Coupled with a very aggressive territorial attitude they can beat the hell out of big dogs and humans as well. Not afraid of humans at all and a nuisance if you decide to feed them. More than one golfer has been chased by one or more Canada geese attempting to retrieve a wayward golf ball.

I take great delight in the honking and yodeling conversations they have during their early morning flights to their breakfast patch and motivational meeting sites. They don’t bother flying very high for these short hops and it makes you feel like you should duck as they flap and hoot past, such a majestic bird!

I’m offering D.A.R.I.A. Book One free from Amazon on April 9th, 10th, 11th. Sci-Fi readers will enjoy the journey through the six book series.

There is so much we know nothing about, whole worlds which are unnoticed by our primitive senses. Stop by here to widen your senses and to notice the worlds of the SHADOWS REEL.

I must fly, the dogs are demanding to go for a walk as they have a bad case of the spring zoomies. And I better be with them and close by to avoid the veterinary bills if the geese decide to kick the crap out of them.

A Rancher owned herd of Buffalo on the praries of North America.

There are so many and varied challenges facing the world these days and I certainly recognize it to be so.

In this newsletter I chose to set those challenges aside and focus instead on relaxation, reading of books, being close to nature, and how we as humans can de-stress and apply appropriate self-therapies for personal well-being.

There are more than enough challenges to go around for everyone so we must exert some energy and chose instead to focus on positive events which we enjoy. It’s certainly harder but so much more rewarding and improves our disposition and peace of mind.

Take a deep breath, slow your pulse, watch the buffalo roam and forage with their calves’ frolicking.

Yes finally, thank you for your inquiries, messages of encouragement and general interest in this book, I certainly appreciate it.

D.A.R.I.A. Book Six sees our intrepid team take on the massive challenge of bringing the Red Market (human body parts trade) under control along with the destruction of associated Cartels.

There now don’t you feel so much more relaxed and at peace with yourself and the world around you? How could you possibly be upset while sitting on a hillside watching some deer amble past? Yes they know you are there and that you are not a threat to them.

Without initiating a discussion on “Climate Change” I will make the observation to whit, this winter in the North America Midwest has been one of quite distinct vigor. Meaning, this winter is acting more like the traditional winters of my youth rather than the more recent “El Nino” milder versions which we enjoyed for a number of recent years.

Minus 40 C is a formidable convincing argument that is non-negotiable. As was the “Alberta Clipper” that smoked through and shutdown provinces/states with a very convincing demonstration of a “blizzard that can kill you”, bury a few cars, rip up buildings with winds, and flip over some semi-trailers out on the highway.

Mother Nature reminding us in her own unique way that we are but squatters in her world and we can be “swatted like flies” should she be so inclined! Anyway the winter seems pretty long and often bitterly cold to me.

As you follow the progress of the James Webb Space Telescope on its adventure, do stop by at INTERSTELLAR ADVENTURE to read some excellent science fiction.

Or perhaps/in addition to, visit LEVIATHAN WAKES for some books on sci-fi and fantasy.

Of course after the blinding blizzard wreaking its havoc across the land the wind drops, the sun comes out and Mother Nature proudly displays to all her handiwork. Oh yes and the -40 C temperatures come along. Amazing landscapes but the temps can kill you in minutes. Yes Mother dear, we have respect, yes Mother you are the bitch…. er boss!!

In the North America Snow Zone

I wish you my warmest greetings for health and prosperity in the new year of 2022. Of course I expect we will have plenty of challenges throughout the year, but as you may have realized and observed humanity does its best when facing and contending with adversity. We do some of our best work when focused, our tenacity and resiliency are challenged and we are forced by necessity to create new and innovative solutions.

Yes, I am still struggling with D.A.R.I.A Book Six. I’m such a messy writer so the editing process is long and it seems there have been some pandemic bugs that have slowed progress considerably. I’m close to getting over the goal line and must refocus myself and resources to complete the task. I thank you for your patience, encouraging comments, support and interest.

When there is scenery and displays of hoarfrost like this I will most likely be found out walking the dogs and enjoying the wondrous winter offerings. Yes, it’s true that this is not speeding up my new book editing process at all. But we must learn to take advantages of situations as they come up, n’est-ce pas?
