Easton Summer Trailer

Here's the new trailer I created for Easton Summer.  Let me know what you think.

The Idea of Easton Summer





I was asked recently where I got the idea for Easton Summer.  I had to think about that.  I've always written stories down, usually based on some true incident I found amusing.  Easton Summer is based on a ranch once owned by my family in Easton.  I pulled the angels from my experiences working with youth at church, added my own love of animals, especially dogs, threw in a mystery or two, and there it was, Easton Summer.

I love the golden grasses of California.  Incidentally, those golden grasses are what gave California the nickname of the "Golden State."

Easton Summer - Yes, Goats Can Climb Trees




In Easton Summer, some of the Sanders' missing goats were recovered.  Shelley and the angels observed the recovered goats crowded near the fence watching the garden in hopes of a “snack.” If the goats ever got into the garden, there would be nothing left. They practically ate anything. That old story about goats eating tin cans is half true. Although goats don’t actually eat tin cans, they chew on cans to get to the label and the glue on the back of the label. It looks very much like they are eating cans.

Our large shade trees listed a bit to the east and three goats were perched on the sloping trunk of one of the trees. Yes, goats can climb trees. To prove goats can climb trees, here are some photos.

Easton Rabbits






In the Easton Series, the Sanders raise rabbits.  Our angel, Eric, has a fondness for the rabbits and holds whole conversations with them.  Here are a few rabbits.
