Jewels’ milk hit the threshold: 6.2 pH. So there is no turning back! It will be tonight or tomorrow morning. Sadly, I will be leaving for a 5.5 hour drive over the mountains (Cascades) for our grandson Levi’s graduation. So even if she foals, I may n...

My publisher and I are excited to host this multi-media contest for both Circle C readers and also for those who are not familiar with the series. It’s a month-long contest for ages 8-14, with three levels of prizes awarded in both the Writing Catego...
