A New North
I have always thought of myself as having a good sense of direction, but it wasn't until about a year and a half ago, when encountering a near brush with death, that I began to question that. I began to see just how fragile our lives...

I have always wondered about some cats' ability to know things. Not just to know in the ordinary sense, but to be able to know things they should have had no way of knowing. Most cats are pretty inteligent, but some, like Roscoe, went far beyon...

We all settled into a routine of chores, repairs, and harvesting as summer wore on. Dad and I went over to the Walters' to help them bring in their hay, and they did the same for us. It made the hard work easier, to have all of us working to get i...

Roscoe took his time exploring his new domain. He wandered the fields, catching his share of whatever moved, explored the hay barn and all the outbuildings. He even found his way to the neighbors, who had a couple of ladycats in their barn. The ...
