Welcome!
LEAVES 🌿 are perfect every morning with your coffee and toast, and much better for your mental health than the daily newspaper or social media. They offer a little respite from this mad world for a few minutes each day.
LEAVES 🌿 is not a blog. It will not help you get fit, or save the planet, or organize your closet, or make a great lasagna. You will find no gossip or politics here, but you will find:
worthy character-driven micro-fiction
evocative tales from a woman who’s traveled solo for 40 years
the Katy Stories from a family unlike your own
the Haylene and Marla stories -two loose women on an eternal road trip in a ‘79 Camaro
humorous commentary on life ( and sometimes, cats…)
the full-length tale of Bartle Clunes, life in the California foothills, 1949
We have a lot in common, you and I — we are, after all, probably of the same species. Admittedly, I am slightly askew from having lived in Santa Cruz my whole life, but if you’re not afraid of dealing with a slightly demented, and sometimes optimistic outlook, please stop in daily for a quick read.
🌿LEAVES are free for everyone. Subscribers receive a couple of short posts every Saturday and Wednesday via email or stop by any time here on line to catch up. You won’t be sorry.
