Daddy was a farmer. Except when he wasn’t. Yesterday the delivery man asked me where I was from. He said, “Arkansas? Really? Hmmm, what’s that like?” “Nice”, I replied…”rocks, mountains, trees, waterfalls and creeks for wadin’ and hot sandy roads for searin’ the bottom of bare feet.” “Aaannd goats, we had goats.” Because when daddy…
Have you ever needed to decorate a deck with a faux rug? Have you ever used a faux rug for a facelift? I did once…but not on MY face, though. I’ve been thinking about all the people who’ve been hit and impacted by Hurricane Laura. It is heart breaking to think of the loss. I…

Seasons come and seasons go. The sun rises and sets. Come sit by me. Let’s talk. Let’s talk long and deep and about the certainties of life… like the certainty of the promise of the wishberry. She asked why she had to grow up so fast. I don’t know sweet one, I don’t know. But…
It is easy to lose hope, and feel discouraged. Sometime you feel you’re hitting a wall at every turn. Raise your hand if you relate. Miracles do happen. I wasn’t born last Tuesday…obviously since I’m at least 29… *sigh* but if you’re not careful, life can blur into a haze and you’ll forget to see…
