PRICKLE FORREST CHRONICLES By Chrissy Hartmann April 2020 Raindrops keep falling on… everything! Welcome back April spring. The sunshine is managing to peek through. Vitamin D in lots of demand especially after the past winter. Good time to get outside with the tablet to type some. The fresh air will do a body good! And lets not forget to haul all the Easter candy out there too. Nothing like eating dark chocolate raspberry creams to get the endorphins flowing while typing. Happy spring! P.S. And yes the April chronicle is a bit late… but its out. Sorry! THE TOP … Continue reading Prickle forrest Chronicles April 2021

BOOK REVIEW Another bOOK REVIEWED… By Chrissy Hartmann 17 May 2021 Came across an interesting find a few weeks back. It’s only been now that I’ve had time to write my review. Friends shared this book with me, the actual book printed back in 1931 by Alfred Lawson. He was a professional baseball player, businessman in aircraft manufacturing, and what some might call a whacko economist, but he did manage to open up a college called the University of Lawsonomy. Lawsonomy is defined as the knowledge of life and everything pertaining thereto. There are three volumes of Lawsonomy: Lawsonomy, Mentality, … Continue reading Another Book Review

PRICKLE FORREST CHRONICLES By Chrissy Hartmann March 2021 It is madness. Pure madness. Its begun. Spring is in the air. Birds are chirping. The snow’s disappeared. The temperatures are warming. People are shedding their coats. Everyone has spring fever and rightfully so. Lockdowns do not work. Masks do not work. Hell, it is looking like vaccines do not work either. Fear is overrated. Truth will set you free. Call it madness, but its one thing we love other than a good book. So enjoy your life. Normal is back! Keep the faith. Never give up hope. And when all else … Continue reading Prickle Forrest Chronicles March 2021

PRICKLE FORREST CHRONICLES By Chrissy Hartmann February 2021 February, the shortest month of the year. Sometimes wonder if it’s because it may also be one of the coldest months of the year. At least here, it seems like the temperatures rival those of the past two — December and January. But it’s perfect for lots of things — skiing, ice fishing, sled riding. Brrr! And best of all in particular… Writing romance. Yes, it’s cold out and Frosty still entertains in the backyard. But with some fleece jammies and a mug of coffee, the push of the laptop’s power button, … Continue reading Prickle Forrest Chronicles February 2021

PRICKLE FORREST CHRONICLES By Chrissy Hartmann January 2021 Happy New Year, loyal fans! Really? It’s a new year. No, don’t shake your head. It is. At least that’s what the calendar keeps saying. I know. It sure doesn’t seem like it. Still have to wear mask. Still have to socially distance. And yes, President Trump is still not the President…yet! The future looks bleak unless something can be done to stop Rona… and the rotten socialist and fascists. Par for the course too is the fact that the temps have been dropping, blizzard-like conditions are weighing into the fray. Almost … Continue reading Prickle Forrest Chronicles January 2021

PRICKLE FORREST CHRONICLES By Chrissy Hartmann December 2020 It’s that time of year when snow covers the ground, the temperatures drop, and Father Time is dimming the lights and pulling down the shades of 2020. Mother Nature nestles into her down comforter with hot cocoa to review her notes of this past year. Jack has stepped in with his frosty mornings to the full-blown snowflake deluge here at the end of the month. And with all honesty, Father Time should have sped up things months ago or maybe better yet, skipped the whole thing. But alas, the year is finally … Continue reading Prickle Forrest Chronicles December 2020 Newsletter

PRICKLE FORREST CHRONICLES By Chrissy Hartmann November 2020 Gobble! Gobble! Thanksgiving came late this year, as did this newsletter. Apologies to the readers. Hopefully it will remain entertaining as much as jumping in piles of colored leaves and sipping hot apple cider on the porch after a day of yard cleanup did. Beware though, Jack frost is sending us reminders that the season is about to change again. A season that is kicked off with a glorious feast of some traditional foods and some not so traditional. But anyway, it comes, it comes. No stopping it now. Mother Nature seems … Continue reading Prickle Forrest Chronicles November 2020 Newsletter

PRICKLE FORREST CHRONICLES August 2020 (Posted 08/28/2020 By Chrissy Hartmann   Summer is just about done here in these parts. And Mother Nature seems to agree…somewhat. Some days it’s hot and humid, like days of Old. Other days it’s cool and even rainy. Worst is when it’s rainy and humid. Ugh! But baseball is taking place from all ages. Last minute vacations are abundant. And kids unbelievably are itching to get back to school. Not sure if it’s for the education, might be for some, but probably most want the socialization that everyone had to forgo because of the virus. … Continue reading Prickle Forrest Chronicles August 2020 Newsletter
