Daily Prompt: Nest
The first thing she does every morning once she’s out of bed is fill the kettle to start the coffee. Even before she lets the dogs out into the backyard. The dogs are accustomed to her morning routine by now. Admittedly she’s a coffee addict. It’s not the caffeine she desires or needs, it’s the taste.…

Mushroom: Daily Prompt
The world that exists beneath the ground we walk on is interesting and quite extensive. This is especially true when we look closely at mushrooms.

Up, Up & Away
Some people are terrified of flying. I understand that. After all, if we choose to fly we are putting our lives in the hands of manmade technology and other humans. It takes a great deal of trust! I love to fly and I’ve been fascinated by flight my entire life. This could explain my intense…
