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”

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”
A Typical and Not-So-Typical Night 2/16/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt We had been hearing that the weather was going to be questionable for several days. It is getting that time of year where storms are not uncommon. Unfortunately, the storms that were coming were going to be, as they are frequently, during the middle of the night. I swear that dangerousContinue reading “A Typical and Not-So-Typical Night 2/16/2025”
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”
The First at the End of the Line 5/19/2024
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It is absolutely gorgeous. I wasn’t expecting things to be this pleasant but here we are. I am currently sitting in my vehicle. It is roughly 80 degrees outside. The sun is shining and there are huge cotton candy clouds drifting by. The sky is an azure sea with cotton ballsContinue reading “The First at the End of the Line 5/19/2024”
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”
Time Honored and True 4/9/2023
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I don’t know if it’s because I’m a history nerd but I absolutely adore a good tradition. It probably also stems from my love of symbolism and anything that has a meaning that lies much deeper than the surface, but a quality long standing tradition that is passed down through theContinue reading “Time Honored and True 4/9/2023”
A Coup D’état of Sorts 4/2/2023
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt If it is springtime and you are in the south, there will be, at some point, and likely at more than one point, bad weather. I don’t know all the science surrounding it but if I had to guess I would wager it is the last semblance of coolness from winterContinue reading “A Coup D’état of Sorts 4/2/2023”
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”
The Best Laid Plans 3/5/2023
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It has most assuredly been one of those weeks. I am certain you know what I mean when I make such a statement. However, in thinking about it and looking at it, that’s an odd statement that doesn’t say much of anything. But anyway, I daresay all of you have hadContinue reading “The Best Laid Plans 3/5/2023”
Anything is Possible 2/5/2023
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It’s that time of year again. Now, you may be wondering what exactly time I am referencing, and I assure you that I am honestly attempting to answer this question. I don’t know exactly what this period should be named. We’ve just begun February and the seasons are just doing whateverContinue reading “Anything is Possible 2/5/2023”
A Foreign Native 11/20/2022
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Today’s blog probably won’t be lengthy. As I type this, I am currently in my most favorite place on this planet. And no, I haven’t traversed the whole planet so I cannot outright promise that there is no place that I might actually find more endearing. There may very well beContinue reading “A Foreign Native 11/20/2022”
Sunshine and Scandal 3/20/2022
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Spring is quite the mixed bag isn’t it? I’m certainly not saying that it is unique in that but my word, this season is just a regular game of Russian roulette! You can stumble upon any and all forms of glory and horror this time of year. I know it soundsContinue reading “Sunshine and Scandal 3/20/2022”
Adventures in Minimalism 1/9/2022
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt As you read this, you may find my content uninteresting. I am acknowledging that immediately because I do realize that this is a real possibility. I had a plan as to what I wanted to talk about today and as I was pondering and before I actually started writing, I realizedContinue reading “Adventures in Minimalism 1/9/2022”
Every Blade of Grass 4/4/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I am not sure what it is about this year but for some reason my fondness for Easter has grown tremendously. I have always liked it but for some reason this one seems more consequential, more meaningful somehow. This year feels more like all that is springtime and Easter to me. Continue reading “Every Blade of Grass 4/4/2021”
Sweet Relief 7/19/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Summer in the south. It’s a…potent event. Sure, it makes for great tans and ridiculous amounts of fun in various bodies of water but there are times that it is pretty convincing that somehow our beloved Earth has switched places with Mercury and is now so close to the sun thatContinue reading “Sweet Relief 7/19/2020”
