A matter of perspective

Saturday, November 26, 2022 7:18 AM

Just last week, when I bent down to touch the creek water, I felt its chill washing through my fingers. The day was warm, and I imagined that it might be fun to take off my shoes and socks and step out into the water.

The Osage orange

Monday, November 14, 2022 6:15 AM

What sounded like a thunderous cannon shot rang out across the creek valley. The echoing boom was followed quickly by another. I paused, and then shook my head as I realized that the cause of my surprise had been caused by Osage orange fruits, blown loose by the wind and falling onto the metal roof of Greg’s shop.

Corn Dog and Cotton

Monday, November 7, 2022 5:45 AM

There were many things that I could have and likely should have done, but when I stepped back outside after lunch, the sky was a brilliant blue, a gentle breeze tickled leaves down to the ground, and the goats trotted up imploring me to lead them on a walk. Who was I to ignore their sweet request?

Woolly worm wonder

Sunday, October 30, 2022 9:19 AM

It was a bright, sunshine-filled day. I left the creek valley to run a few errands in town and on my return, driving along a back road between two upland fields, I stopped in wonder. There, just ahead of my car, I saw countless small creatures darting across the road from one side to the other. I

Free marbles and a full heart

Wednesday, October 26, 2022 6:29 AM

I spent a magical three days at the festival and over those days, I was so happy to be able to find new homes for over 300 bags of sparkling glass orbs. Without any doubt, I will be basking in a marble-ous glow, my heart ever so full, for quite some time to come.

Creek valley turkeys

Friday, October 14, 2022 10:09 AM

I believe that I have been seeing quite a bit of turkeys of late. I do not know if it’s the cooler weather or the blue skies overhead, but all of a sudden the turkeys seem to be everywhere, strutting their stuff across the fields and creek valley road and even if I don’t actually see them, I can still hear their hollow clucks echoing across the valley.

Getting ready for the fair

We headed back home to the blue water creek and the great blue heron under the brilliantly blue sky. Oh, what a wonderful day it was to get ready for the fair.

A Model A

Friday, September 23, 2022 6:40 AM

Don’t be surprised to see us passing by in a fall parade or two, or perhaps see us sitting beside her at a fall season cruise in, and of course, without any doubt at all, no matter where you see us with the Model A, we will be smiling.

On the wings of words

Friday, September 16, 2022 3:20 PM

My friend might not have known where her words may have flown, but fly they did, and she did know with certainty that after flight, they folded their newsprint wings and settled down for a good home visit. I know, also with certainly, that through her words, she touched ever so many lives.
