The valley in flood

After big summer rains, water roars down the creek and floods the valley. At one end the dam becomes a raging waterfall, and I wonder where the turtles shelter. But when the dam settles down again, there they are: heads bobbing and saucer-shaped shells just visible beneath the water.

About me

My photo
Journalist, editor, teacher, publishing manager, education consultant….but that’s all in the past. Even further back, I could add waitress, Five-and-Dime salesgirl and my favourite title: Girl Friday! All mixed in with wife, mother, caregiver and grandmother. But nowadays, based on time spent: gardener, cook, reader, writer and whatever!
