By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Tomorrow, assuming you’re reading this on the day it is published, is pretty significant. I suppose it could be called momentous but that sounds a bit pretentious so I think I shall avoid that choice of adjective. It’s one of those events that you assume will come but then again youContinue reading “A Day of Reckoning 2/28/2021”

And It’s Not Even Thanksgiving 2/21/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I am not sure what caused it but I seem to be waxing sentimental today. I thought it was a matter of me hearing the somewhat nostalgic moan of the breeze whistling against the windows during a moment of silence. I don’t suppose many people really have that much by wayContinue reading “And It’s Not Even Thanksgiving 2/21/2021”
The Path of Peril and Promise 2/14/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I am making what I feel like is a pretty safe guess in thinking that if you are reading this that you are at least moderately familiar with the English language. And being knowledgeable of the common tongue you know it is an utterly ridiculous language. There are of course theContinue reading “The Path of Peril and Promise 2/14/2021”
A Smattering of Disdain 2/7/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt If you read my last blog you know it was a somewhat gushing affectionate tribute to a writer, or probably more accurately an individual that I love most everything about. For some reason today I am traveling a very different, I suppose you could call it downright opposite path. Oddly enoughContinue reading “A Smattering of Disdain 2/7/2021”
A Love Letter 1/31/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I have a confession to make. I will say that if you know me even the most moderate amount you may well already be aware of what I am about to admit. What I’m about to tell you about is probably best described as a relation of a love affair thatContinue reading “A Love Letter 1/31/2021”
The Longest Nights 1/24/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Please don’t think that I have not noticed. I have seen the trend weaving its way through this blog that some forms of subject matter tend to reappear. I suppose it is appropriate that I wrote last week about the cyclical nature of things because my topics certainly seem to beContinue reading “The Longest Nights 1/24/2021”
Circular Thoughts 1/17/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Where I live, I see things. Living in such a rural setting I have the privilege or even downright pleasure, of witnessing some elements that I regularly meet to which those not sharing in my pastoral backdrop may not be privy . If I am honest, I probably very often overlookContinue reading “Circular Thoughts 1/17/2021”
Anecdotes of Inhumanity 1/10/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt If you are anything like me, lately you have found people, well, less than thrilling. Don’t be offended. I am sure some of you reading this or your friends and/or family are the absolute epitome of lovely souls but as of late, humans in general have not been behaving in aContinue reading “Anecdotes of Inhumanity 1/10/2021”
Wise Words in Unexpected Places 1/3/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I have fought it as long as I can. We are now into a new year and I have decided to fight it no longer. Once I heard this little bit of inspiration it certainly stuck with me as a valuable treasure of wisdom. I suppose it was its source thatContinue reading “Wise Words in Unexpected Places 1/3/2021”
When All Is Said and Done 12/27/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt She always hated when it was over. Perhaps hate was too strong of a word. If she were being accurate there were probably a paragraph’s worth of words that she could use to describe the awkward time when the Christmas Day festivities were over. Maybe she didn’t truly hate it sheContinue reading “When All Is Said and Done 12/27/2020”
The Glowing and the Green 12/20/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt This year I have taken the hanging of the green more seriously than I ever have before. Don’t get me wrong I have always been madly in love with the idea of decorating for Christmas. As far as I am concerned, I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment that it is theContinue reading “The Glowing and the Green 12/20/2020”
Watching the Clock 12/13/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Is it just me, or does anyone else remember when it used to take roughly four years to get to this time every year? Maybe it was just the youthful imagination but I am quite certain that it took multiple years for us to get to the last pages of theContinue reading “Watching the Clock 12/13/2020”
An Occurrence Extraordinary 12/6/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt When the temperatures drop below freezing or quite frankly gets even close to it, in these parts that garners quite the mixed bag of emotion. In the south weather extremes are most assuredly not unheard of. We are subjected to tornadoes frequently. The odd hurricane or tropical storm isn’t out ofContinue reading “An Occurrence Extraordinary 12/6/2020”
Branches and Roots 11/29/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I feel like I may have taken on a topic in this blog that is significantly over my head. Not that I don’t think I can write about it, I just think that despite my innate ability to fling unnecessarily large amounts of words at a subject matter, I don’t knowContinue reading “Branches and Roots 11/29/2020”
Wisdom from an Imaginary Table 11/22/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt This blog is proving more difficult to write than originally anticipated. I had thought to myself that writing a blog extolling the joys of Thanksgiving, since we are to that week of the year, would be a tad on the effortless side. However, the ebb and flow of tides in theContinue reading “Wisdom from an Imaginary Table 11/22/2020”
Simple Gifts 11/15/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It is that time of year. It is a time when busy is an understatement. A little bit of everything flows into our schedules like a landslide carrying every speck of free time and thought off into oblivion with it. If we are not busy planning the events for the restContinue reading “Simple Gifts 11/15/2020”
Breathing on Embers 11/8/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Dusk and dawn are powerful forces. Not only do they come with all their spectacle of sky filling hues but they wring every ounce of value out of whatever light they are given. When the sun comes up the firmament brightens long before we ever see it. Daybreak comes with suchContinue reading “Breathing on Embers 11/8/2020”
Two November Days 11/1/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt This could turn out to be a shorter post than normal (emphasis on COULD). This won’t exactly be my typical subject matter hence I make such a statement. Then again if you read this regularly you know me and know I am capable of excessive rambling given the chance so, IContinue reading “Two November Days 11/1/2020”
Passion and Potluck 10/25/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It was two different plants that are apparently in the same family that got me thinking about today’s topic. First off, the massive showy blossoms of a confederate rose caught my eye as they cannot help but do. When you see a giant ball of white ruffled petals first thing inContinue reading “Passion and Potluck 10/25/2020”
Home Away from Home 10/18/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I am writing this at one of my favorite places on the planet. I only call this one of my favorites because there are other places that I have yet to visit that MIGHT rival it but then again it may still reign victorious even after my traveling dreams are fulfilled. Continue reading “Home Away from Home 10/18/2020”
Everyday Abundance 10/11/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt The rural nature of my home is certainly not a secret if you have read my blog for any amount of time. I have written before about my life in a small town and have given you multiple accounts of rural happenings around my dwelling. There is an aspect I haveContinue reading “Everyday Abundance 10/11/2020”
Fingerprints and Fawn Spots 10/4/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I am using the somewhat antiquated method of paper and ink to start writing this. I have always embraced old things and am unabashedly a lover of all things historic but I admit putting pen to page feels terribly inconvenient and absurdly taxing. I know this is a ridiculous overreaction onContinue reading “Fingerprints and Fawn Spots 10/4/2020”
Enchantment Inescapable 9/27/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I can’t not write about it. I am too intoxicated by it. I am too enamored with it. It is something that I look to with such anticipation that stifling all the words that are aching to flow out of me about it just seems cruel so I shall not doContinue reading “Enchantment Inescapable 9/27/2020”
All They Were Created to Be 9/20/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Sometimes, in the middle of the night, a heaviness comes upon me. It is dark and very nearly impossible to see but its presence is apparent and unmistakable. I can try to pretend that it is not there but I succeed about as well as one who attempts to pretend theContinue reading “All They Were Created to Be 9/20/2020”
Defending a Dewdrop 9/13/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt A topic was fleeting this week. I was battling with talking about the coming of autumn again. I kept telling myself that the people that read this are getting tired of me writing about my favorite season even though I could easily ramble on about the delicate and graceful dance ofContinue reading “Defending a Dewdrop 9/13/2020”
