For me, life is fairly simple:
love God, love your neighbor, do your art. As a Christian, my first priority is loving God, and I believe a part of loving Him is being grateful for what He's given us.
Here in the Ozarks, we have much to appreciate and enjoy.
And so this blog attempts to do a little of this: appreciate God's wonders, and share them with you, my neighbors.
Don inaugurated our winter season today by firing up the old wood furnace, and though the wind is howling in the trees tonight, and it's face-numbing cold outside, it's cozy where we sit in the kitchen writing Christmas cards. Barley sprawls out asleep, half on his bed, half on the wood floor, his back legs pumping as his dreams send him running through the leaves.
