Day 285: Modify
Today we attempted the second of three summit hikes to Calloway Peak. The plan was to take on the most rugged of the three, which starts just past the Grandfather Mountain “swinging bridge” parking lot–a 5-mile (more or less) out … Continue reading
Day 284: Acknowledge
OK, I’m feeling a little tight on words by Day 284, I guess. Tonight’s posting should really be “encourage” or “support,” but I’m going to have to go with “acknowledge.” Our bedroom has pretty much become the last refuge of … Continue reading
Day 283: Roast
I had thought that American chestnuts were a thing of the past. Oh sure, I had heard that chestnut trees were coming back, but I didn’t know that orchards were producing domestic nuts. I am happy to report that chestnut … Continue reading
Day 282: Relocate

Day 278: Infuse
We had a nice cold snap the past couple of days, with our first light frost this morning. We’ve started in on that wood stack, but I think even if we are burning fires every day, it should last us … Continue reading
Day 277: Blend
It’s been a long day, so I’m keeping this post short. I think I have written about this sort of thing before, but today I had another opportunity to reintegrate parts of my life back in Atlanta with our new … Continue reading
Day 276: Host
I’ve written before about how much easier it is for me to be a host rather than a guest. And while I’ve learned much by allowing myself to be someone’s guest, tonight I get to sing the praises of playing … Continue reading
