By: Jennifer Richardson Holt As I sit here, it looks like it is snowing. Now it most certainly is not since in my neck of the woods we are not often blessed with such pleasantries. And I do realize that snow is not necessarily pleasant in the opinions of all my readers however if youContinue reading “Small, But Mighty 11/24/2024”

A Family of Citizens 7/7/2024
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt When I started pondering what to write about, the holiday of this past week was heavily on my mind. My nation’s birthday was influencing my train of thought. I do like to think of myself as patriotic so there was definitely a bit of pride. That was probably pretty clear whenContinue reading “A Family of Citizens 7/7/2024”
Small Town, Big Heart 4/21/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It occurs to me that I have resided every day of my forty-three years of existence in a small town. They have varied in their smallness, but none have even come close to remotely qualifying as anything but small. As of late, I have heard some disparaging remarks made about smallContinue reading “Small Town, Big Heart 4/21/2021”
An Unconventional Pairing 12/17/2023
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Perhaps it is because I live in the country. Maybe it is my rural setting that allows for certain aspects of my Christmas celebration to be, how shall I describe it, a bit different. Then again, that could be just one of countless factors. I hadn’t really put much thought into howContinue reading “An Unconventional Pairing 12/17/2023”
Alien Visitation 7/9/2023
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I heard the other day of someone coming to my area for a job interview. They were coming from Canada. I tried to think what it might be like for someone to come from somewhere else like that to where I call home. I know, Canada isn’t like someone coming fromContinue reading “Alien Visitation 7/9/2023”
The Small and the Spirited 8/28/2022
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I don’t remember it but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I do have a particularly terrible memory that has only gotten worse after becoming a mom (apparently that whole “baby brain” doesn’t stop even after 6 years). What I can’t recall was dressing up for spirit days in school. ApparentlyContinue reading “The Small and the Spirited 8/28/2022”
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”
Everyday Abundance 10/11/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt The rural nature of my home is certainly not a secret if you have read my blog for any amount of time. I have written before about my life in a small town and have given you multiple accounts of rural happenings around my dwelling. There is an aspect I haveContinue reading “Everyday Abundance 10/11/2020”
Between the Creek and the Caution Light 5/31/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I live in a small town. I know things come to mind when I say that but I feel I really need to expound upon the gravity of my statement. I live in a VERY small town. My town is in fact, so small that it is not even technically aContinue reading “Between the Creek and the Caution Light 5/31/2020”
