Brief Author Bio:

Jeff and I have an empty nest in the evening (our three grown children have flown successfully out on their own) but during the day the nest contains my fabulous day care children. My friend, Deb, and I love taking the kids out into nature, watching birds, finding fungi and lichens, relishing the changing seasons. I laugh a lot more with young children in my life. It's precious and I consider myself very, very lucky.
