Late winter, I proclaim a bit vehemently to my farmer husband man, that “I am not going to have a garden this year.” It takes time and work and thought and watering and wheat harvest is busy enough without added extras and I think it’s something I will CROSS OFF for this year. Winter […]

This morning I can almost twist the atmosphere in my hands and wring it right out like a dishrag. The heat and humidity press in around me leaving me feeling quite similar to a rather limp dishrag. To the north, the evening brings us a building storm and streaks of lightning punctuate the landscape. No […]

Once upon a time, long long ago, seventeen-years-long-and-SHORT-ago, after a long, long wait and labor, a big-eyed baby girl was born. She had a soft wisp of dark hair, chibby-chubby cheeks and a little button nose just right for kissing. This girl was cuddled and loved and she grew into a chattery toddler cherub. She […]

Busy time. Busy place. The field. When a crop has matured and filled and the grain is dry and the plant is too; it is time. Time to pluck up what has been planted. There’s a certain amount of pressure. Work. Work hard. Work well. Work safely. Throw in a dash of haste…but not too […]

Just before evening starts to gather in…. The blue and the beans and the shadows, they brush bold across the canvas of earth and sky and creation sings, silent and swelling, muted and magnificent, rising around in praise to Creator God, bringing pause to whoever will take the time to notice…. I’m so glad that […]
