By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I don’t think I will ever be able to stop being amazed by the simplest things in nature. Of course, we’re all awestruck by a mountain view or a thundering waterfall—those are the easy wonders. They require no real effort to appreciate. Even someone indifferent to jewelry can’t deny the beautyContinue reading “Whispers on the Fence Line 8/10/2025”

So Ridiculously Much 6/29/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I saw my first truly lovely, colorful sunset yesterday—my first in ages. As I admired the pastel hues, I found myself wondering why it had been so long since I’d seen one. I’ve always been someone who eagerly seeks out a good sunset, yet, aside from yesterday, I can’t even rememberContinue reading “So Ridiculously Much 6/29/2025”
Ghosts of Summers Past
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt My daughter has now finished her 3rd grade school year and summer is upon us. Even she commented on how quickly it seems to have gone by. It feels like we should be maybe mid-February or early March in the school year. Like we’ve been back since Christmas for a whileContinue reading “Ghosts of Summers Past”
Pros and Cons 3/23/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Springtime has the distinction of being a mixed bag that can sometimes prove challenging. The season is the epitome of a love-hate relationship. I know some people that tend to lean further to one side or the other of those two extremes at this time of year and I must admitContinue reading “Pros and Cons 3/23/2025”
Heralds, Omens and Signs 2/9/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt At this time of year my mother becomes very impatient. Really once a new calendar year begins, she has an immediate goal that she is set to attain. And if you’re thinking I am referencing some sort of resolution or the like, you are way off base. Once the year beginsContinue reading “Heralds, Omens and Signs 2/9/2025”
My Own Concoction 1/7/2024
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I have mentioned before about both myself and my family being weird. I feel like perhaps I should explain this a bit more as that is a very broadly stroked painting which I have applied to myself and those that I love. I realize that there are vast number of definitions thatContinue reading “My Own Concoction 1/7/2024”
Roadside Attractions 2/26/2023
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt One morning this week I came to a place where traffic was stopped. I was traveling a very small country road and I had seen signs telling of utility work ahead. The oncoming, now not coming but ceased traffic was in fact a utility truck so I just assumed I hadContinue reading “Roadside Attractions 2/26/2023”
Sunshine and Scandal 3/20/2022
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Spring is quite the mixed bag isn’t it? I’m certainly not saying that it is unique in that but my word, this season is just a regular game of Russian roulette! You can stumble upon any and all forms of glory and horror this time of year. I know it soundsContinue reading “Sunshine and Scandal 3/20/2022”
Inherited Passions 9/19/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt A conversation with my coworker gave me the content for this blog. It was one of those conversations that I am famous for that may start off innocently about football or maybe even work (we do occasionally talk about that at work, not often but it happens) and somehow the trainContinue reading “Inherited Passions 9/19/2021”
View of the Equinox from Here 3/21/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Spring snuck up on me this year. One minute there were the light dustings of blossom from stray pear trees and the occasional wild plum out in the bare grey woods and now suddenly everything already has leaves. When did that happen? I suppose it’s appropriate considering, at the time thisContinue reading “View of the Equinox from Here 3/21/2021”
