By: Jennifer Richardson Holt The times around my home are perilous indeed. Dangers lurk both indoors and out, and it is a wonder I am even here to write about them. Perhaps I exaggerate ever so slightly—but only slightly.

So Ridiculously Much 6/29/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I saw my first truly lovely, colorful sunset yesterday—my first in ages.

Native Harvests 10/10/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I live in a place steeped in history. No, it’s no England with its thousands of years of society and whatnot but, for America, there is a lot here. I live in a town with a name from the native peoples that were here. The towns surrounding my town all haveContinue reading “Native Harvests 10/10/2021”
