About This Site

The posts on this site are meant to entertain and amuse. My writing includes a wide variety, sometimes serious, eerie, or silly. With few exceptions, I add a new post each day, thus the motto:  A Daily Dose of Writing. The posts would be little or nothing without the photographs and artwork that goes with them. Often the picture triggers the writing, and I have fun creating a new and unique post that originates from that image. Comments and questions are welcome. My hope is that you get in a habit of checking this site regularly.  Loren Elkin    elkfarm@wctc.net
