By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It was a brisk Tennessee Sunday. The sun was doing its best to warm things, but the wind insisted on reminding us that it was, in fact, November. We kept an eye on the gathering clouds along the horizon, having heard whispers of snow in the forecast. It didn’t feel coldContinue reading “Under Oaks That Remember 11/16/2025”

The Welcome Glow 11/9/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt This is something of a disclaimer. Perhaps that isn’t the right word—maybe explanation would be more appropriate. You see, I caught a fair amount of flack this past weekend, and it wasn’t the first time either. It wasn’t particularly traumatizing, as I’ve heard the fuss before. I will say that thisContinue reading “The Welcome Glow 11/9/2025”
So Ridiculously Much 6/29/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I saw my first truly lovely, colorful sunset yesterday—my first in ages. As I admired the pastel hues, I found myself wondering why it had been so long since I’d seen one. I’ve always been someone who eagerly seeks out a good sunset, yet, aside from yesterday, I can’t even rememberContinue reading “So Ridiculously Much 6/29/2025”
Experimental Exploits 3/30/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt At my daughter’s behest, I suppose I owe you all a story. I wrote a few weeks ago about an experiment that my family was going to undertake. And, as conclusions drawn from experiments often are, the results were a fascinating mixture of somewhat unremarkable and rather surprising. We attempted ourContinue reading “Experimental Exploits 3/30/2025”
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”
In My Defense 11/3/2024
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I am one of those people. It is November, and as far as I am concerned now, it is Christmas time. If I didn’t have several out of the ordinary events on my schedule for the next few weekends, I would already be decorating. I know that this is a controversialContinue reading “In My Defense 11/3/2024”
Just As Louis Said… 10/13/2024
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I have always loved being immersed in nature. Not in the taking a casual walk about the front lawn type of way but more of a walking through a quiet forest in the middle of nowhere type of way. These past few days my experiences with nature have been the kindContinue reading “Just As Louis Said… 10/13/2024”
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”
Lifting the Mid-Winter Spirits 12/4/2022
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt If you’re a regular reader of this blog its contents will shock you about as much as dipping your hand in water and finding it wet. I admit this fact does make me a bit nervous since, if I am revisiting a familiar theme, as it seems I apparently am, IContinue reading “Lifting the Mid-Winter Spirits 12/4/2022”
Inherited Passions 9/19/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt A conversation with my coworker gave me the content for this blog. It was one of those conversations that I am famous for that may start off innocently about football or maybe even work (we do occasionally talk about that at work, not often but it happens) and somehow the trainContinue reading “Inherited Passions 9/19/2021”
