By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It’s a dreary grey day outside. The light rain is falling in drops so tiny they’re nearly invisible. In fact, I wasn’t even aware it was raining until I opened the door to the back patio and heard what I thought was wind in the trees. After noticing their complete lackContinue reading “Second Breakfasts and Other Small Comforts 12/7/2025”

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”
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”
Polarization 1/26/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It has been a polar week. I mean that in pretty much every sense of the word that I can think of. If your first thought was the weather, then you would be correct. That is an accurate description of the climate of my area right now. If you thought aboutContinue reading “Polarization 1/26/2025”
A Rare Day 1/12/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Today is not your average day in most senses of the word. As I write this I am snuggled on my couch with a cup of coffee and a snoozing dog next to my leg. We are both tucked under a warm blanket. She stirs and gives a dramatic sigh fromContinue reading “A Rare Day 1/12/2025”
Chilling Inexperience 1/21/2024
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Winter is not something we Southerners are particularly good at. Now, don’t get me wrong, many of us really enjoy it. I myself am a big fan, and if there was some way we could manage to maintain foliage on the trees AND have the season I would adore it since lackContinue reading “Chilling Inexperience 1/21/2024”
A Few Points of Lack 10/29/2023
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt We were heading to my husband’s grandparents’ home for lunch after church this past Sunday. On our way there, we got to see something that we very rarely see in our area. While driving through farmland with livestock is very commonplace, this livestock we saw that day specifically is almost neverContinue reading “A Few Points of Lack 10/29/2023”
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”
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”
The Last Quarter’s Spell 10/24/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt This time of year is mystical to me. That is the best word that I can think of to describe it. And yes, before you even say anything (assuming you discuss my blog with anyone or if you, like myself, talk to yourself when you read things) I am indeed aboutContinue reading “The Last Quarter’s Spell 10/24/2021”
The Longest Nights 1/24/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Please don’t think that I have not noticed. I have seen the trend weaving its way through this blog that some forms of subject matter tend to reappear. I suppose it is appropriate that I wrote last week about the cyclical nature of things because my topics certainly seem to beContinue reading “The Longest Nights 1/24/2021”
An Occurrence Extraordinary 12/6/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt When the temperatures drop below freezing or quite frankly gets even close to it, in these parts that garners quite the mixed bag of emotion. In the south weather extremes are most assuredly not unheard of. We are subjected to tornadoes frequently. The odd hurricane or tropical storm isn’t out ofContinue reading “An Occurrence Extraordinary 12/6/2020”
