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”
A Heaping Helping of Normal, Please 12/15/2024
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I do not promise much by way of length today.

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”
With Great Expectations 9/6/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I have always felt like fall was the start of something. I suppose, in the most realistically basic sense, it is the start of kids returning to school so that’s something. The lazy days of summer for child, parent and teacher alike are morphing into something that is a more hectic,Continue reading “With Great Expectations 9/6/2020”
Little Known Lighthouses 6/7/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I don’t know when we became a world that feeds on only bad news but here we are. Seems often the powers that be, or the media, or whoever you get any form of information from seem to think that nothing ever happens worth publicizing unless it induces nausea, venom, fearContinue reading “Little Known Lighthouses 6/7/2020”
