The smell of campfire smoke and bacon met me at the entrance to the trail. In the cool of the morning the shadows and shade kept the temperature just above needing a jacket. Once I was moving, the thought of extra clothing subsided due to the humidity. This trail is my inspiration-trail and that is … Continue reading An Unexpected Lesson

Summer Simplicity
I took a stroll to the mail box just in time for a summer shower. Once I got back up to my front porch swing, I was taken with how the sound of pouring rain in the woods is so similar to the sound of a waterfall. Rushing to the ground, it slides over the … Continue reading Summer Simplicity
More on the Arrow
As luck would have it, one of the summer school field trips I went on this summer included an archery lesson for my students. Just so you know, I do not believe in luck. After my Arrows in the Hands of a Warrior blog, I found the lesson fascinating because my eyes were still open … Continue reading More on the Arrow
Faster Daddy Faster!
If you want to know where my love of wind in my face began, I think I can tell you the story. I pinpoint it back to one snowy day at our mountain home in Clayton. Some family and friends had made it in before the storm so there were many kids of all ages. … Continue reading Faster Daddy Faster!

He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate. … Continue reading Arrows in the Hands of a Warrior

Dandelions
An art show is a perfect place to people-watch. Being a student of human behavior, I love to just sit and observe. There are some people who will not cross the line into the tent. They look from the outside as if stepping across the line obligates them in some way. Others come right in, … Continue reading Dandelions
