A Kansas Walk and an Ankle and Things That Turn Out All Right
I took a walk today. I stepped out my door in the November sunshine and when I realized it was a most gorgeous Kansas day with azure skies and nice temps and no wind, I returned to the house and I dug out a sweater and socks and I laced my tennis shoes right up. […]

A Thanksgiving Harvest
I watch the smoke spiral up from the sweet corn stalks and general garden tangle and I confess my first reaction is “glad-to-see-that-mess go” followed quickly by “no-garden-next-year” all played in sour tones and trebles. Then, I pause, a bit ashamed. Yes. That garden did become a big tangled, overgrown mess. It made me feel […]

Cheese and Grapes Tray
I put together this cheese and grapes tray at Christmastime last year. I saw a similar idea and it inspired me to do my own. I used green grapes, red grapes, cojack cheese, colby cheese, pepperjack cheese, monterey jack and tucked in some dill for garnish. I used cinnamon sticks at the bottom to create […]
Do I?
Do I find Him faithful? Does He keep His Word to me? Do I trust His goodness? in the things that I can’t see? Do I rest upon His Word? Do I kneel to pray? Do I trust His promises? Believe the things they say? Do I anchor down so deep? When life begins to […]
In Our Wardrobe {Photo Shoot}
Back before harvest, Renae and I ventured out a couple of times for a photo shoot. She wanted pictures with our old GMC pickup that we fondly refer to as the ’86. And not only did she want pictures with the ’86, but with the ripening wheat as well. She had several fun ideas and […]

Heard and Valued
There are very few places where the soul is truly safe, where the knowing, the questions, the longings of the soul are welcomed, received, and listened to rather than evaluated, judged, or beaten out of us. ~ Ruth Haley Barton This quote has long been a favorite of mine and I’m pretty sure it’s on […]
Pages and Projects {Bearing Fruit}
Here’s a couple of dish cloths I’ve had on my needles. I finished a couple for a friend and made three others for another gal and totally neglected to take any pictures. Which doesn’t even matter, except for posting here. But I don’t think it’s going to be life-changing for anyone. Ha! This book! Bearing […]
