ramblings from an arkansas farm girl
Dear Sunday Letter friends~
Whew! It’s been a FULL week. A wonderful, celebratory book launch week. And, surprise-surprise, I have a few thoughts to share. (And I’m required to tell you that purchases made from included links, will result in a few pennies to me…)Continue Reading
Dear Sunday Letter friends,
Happy May! Even though we still have seven weeks of spring to enjoy, May always feels like the gateway to summer to me. As a kid I ranked summer—no school!—and winter—Christmas!—at the top of my favorites, but now spring and autumn win out.
Of course, we should all try to appreciate every day no matter the season. These days, they are dwindling for each of us. 😭Continue Reading
Dear Sunday Letter friends,
Good morning and happy spring! I just returned home after a trip to the farm with my mother and sister, and that’s always an adventure. It’s mostly fun, except for the times when it isn’t. Occasionally, we have a broken water pipe, and we are regularly forced to deal with the various critters that have take up residence. But all in all, being able to go back to our childhood home is a special thing.
In many ways, the area has changed dramatically since we left for college all those years ago. At the same time, some things never change, like the view from the carport, the distinctive call of the red-winged blackbirds, and the board games lining our closet shelf.
Inspiration is always waiting for me on the farm. Then, after only a few days away, I return home to find spring everywhere! Blooming tulips. Candytuft. Cherry blossoms. It seems I was away for much, much longer.
