By: Jennifer Richardson Holt The deer in my yard have become unfazed by me. While they’re casually snacking beneath the feeder, I can come out the back door and their heads will pop up. They stare, and after what they apparently feel is a sufficient pause, they return to their food. Now, in the morningsContinue reading “Less Sheep, More Deer 2/8/2026”

By Their Fruit, Apparently 1/25/2026
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I suppose I should apologize in advance. If last week’s blog felt like me standing atop a soapbox no one asked me to climb, then I fear I may be setting up camp there. In my defense, I did warn you this might turn into a series, so the possibility wasContinue reading “By Their Fruit, Apparently 1/25/2026”
On Fog and Falsehood 1/11/2026
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt For the better part of this week, the mornings have been blanketed by fog — and it was no ordinary fog either. There were times when it seemed like it was clearing as a traditional morning mist does, but then it performed a complete about-face, thickening and settling more heavily forContinue reading “On Fog and Falsehood 1/11/2026”
The Darkest Days Are the Brightest 12/21/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt The sky goes pink this time of year as the sun goes down. I don’t know what it is about the cooler seasons, but there is a gradual fade from dusty blue into the horizon, and then—almost without warning—that rosy hue appears. It always makes things look more like winter toContinue reading “The Darkest Days Are the Brightest 12/21/2025”
Toward the Light, Beyond the Field 9/21/2025
By Jennifer Richardson Holt After the somber mood of last week, I felt I shouldn’t fling drivel at you this time. I wanted something lighter—still meaningful, but not heavy. Not that stories about hummingbird skirmishes or my daughter’s clever quips aren’t fitting in their own right, but I knew I wasn’t quite back in thatContinue reading “Toward the Light, Beyond the Field 9/21/2025”
The Turning Point 9/14/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I do not know if it is prudent for me to write this week. My heart is brimming with emotions so strong I can scarcely hold them in, and I am unsure if letting them spill onto the page is wise. Yet here I sit, fingers on the keys, unable toContinue reading “The Turning Point 9/14/2025”
Resurrecting Easter 4/20/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I have very fond memories of Easter. The reminiscence from my childhood has me recalling some aspects that remain unchanged as well as some that only remain in my mind as I no longer have the pleasure of enjoying them. For some reason this year I am lending this holiday moreContinue reading “Resurrecting Easter 4/20/2025”
How Quickly We Forget 1/19/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt We are a terribly forgetful people. Let me explain what I mean. We tend to forget past experiences when new situations arise. Difficulties which we all have seem to always catch us off guard. I am talking to myself very much here. I hope it is not secret that I amContinue reading “How Quickly We Forget 1/19/2025”
