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”

Homemade Seasonings 3/17/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I was doing things that I always do. It’s a tradition I’ve done for as long as I have lived in the home that I live in now.  True, I have only lived in this house for six years, but it was upon moving into this house that I really beganContinue reading “Homemade Seasonings 3/17/2024”

Not Just Another Day 3/10/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt There was a morning this week that things changed. I am not entirely sure what happened. I didn’t think that this type of thing would happen this quickly. It seemed like it was all of a 0f a sudden. I thought that metamorphosis was more of a gradual process when oneContinue reading “Not Just Another Day 3/10/2024”

Observations in Oddity 3/19/2023

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt The time change has proven very strange for me this season.  I suppose, if you get right down to it the entire idea is a tad on the strange side. Most people I know are not fans of falling back or springing forward timewise, but I digress. I have heard changingContinue reading “Observations in Oddity 3/19/2023”

It Waits for No Man 11/6/2022

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It was disconcertingly dark when I took my daughter to school on Friday morning. The beginning of the week had produced some breathtaking sunrises.  There were pink glowing wisps of clouds that changed to gold melting into the bright glow of day.  I was saddened that my drive took me westContinue reading “It Waits for No Man 11/6/2022”

‘Round These Parts 10/9/2022

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt The cotton field near my home is very close to being ready for harvest. I know, I know. It is so achingly southern of me to be excited by this. It is probably, no, definitely even more so for me to be planning taking pictures of my daughter in said cottonContinue reading “‘Round These Parts 10/9/2022”

Transition and Transformation 8/21/2022

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I have a love/hate relationship with change.  I suppose most people do so I don’t suppose I just shared with you any particularly earth shaking information.  It is slightly ironic that there are times I find lack of change very tedious and other times that I find the presence of anyContinue reading “Transition and Transformation 8/21/2022”
