Prickle Forrest Chronicles – June 2022 – A little late… but… Woohoo! Its summer!

PRICKLE FORREST CHRONICLES Chrissy Hartmann June 2022 Hello Pricklers, Woohoo! Its summer… maybe? Hmm? Here in this neck of the woods the weather has been whacky. But then again, that’s not too strange for Ohio weather. We did manage to get a very nasty storm front to blow through about three weeks ago. The community is still cleaning up from it. In all reality, the county has now been designated as a national disaster. Trees down everywhere. Electricity out all over the place. As of last week, the last few outages have been corrected. Thank goodness too because now the … Continue reading Prickle Forrest Chronicles – June 2022 – A little late… but… Woohoo! Its summer!

Prickle Forrest May 2022 Newsletter – Bye-Bye May!

PRICKLE FORREST NEWSLETTER May 2022 Chrissy Hartmann Hello Pricklers! Goodbye May! Now on to June and summer. Woohoo! But first a little about May 2022. Joined about 35+ authors to participate in the Canal Town Book Fest sponsored by the Dover Public Library that they held on May 28th. The event went well, but in the opinion here at the Prickle Forrest Chronicles, it would have probably been more successful, if they had it at the library and not mixed in with the rest of the Canal Town Festival. But live and learn. Did manage to talk briefly to author … Continue reading Prickle Forrest May 2022 Newsletter – Bye-Bye May!

Prickle Forrest Chronicles December 2021

PRICKLE FORREST CHRONICLES By Chrissy Hartmann December 2021 It’s that time of the year again. When the door’s opened, cold rushes in. Christmas Gifts purchased. Sunlight fades to a sparkling dust of diamonds across the sky. Twinkle lights glow red and green. Carols sung. And the snow’s settled in for the long haul. What? Wait! No snow? Oh sure maybe a flake or two, but nothing rooted to the ground yet. Heck, the ground’s probably not even frozen. Hey Mother Nature! Put that broom away and call Jack Frost and Frosty. They are missing in action. Snow’s needed now. Right … Continue reading Prickle Forrest Chronicles December 2021

PRICKLE FORREST CHRONICLES By Chrissy Hartmann November 2021 Wow! The beautiful fall colors make the cold weather settling in more bearable. The pumpkins continue to guard the porch. The anticipation of Thanksgiving dinner makes the bellies grumble with all the ads for the big feast. But with a few pumpkin doughnuts all is forgiven.

Yep, that’s correct, Mother Nature. Rumor says she’s banished them away until December. So grab a … Continue reading Prickle Forrest Chronicles 2021
