I'm an artist and writer who lives in the Appalachian foothills of Ohio. With this blog, I hope to show what happens when you make room in your life, every day, for the things that bring you joy. Strange...most of them are free.

If you like what you see, and are tempted to lift something for your own use, you need to contact me and play Mother May I. Extra points for genuflecting and offering recompense, linkage, and obsequious tribute. If you reproduce my photos, art or writing without asking, I will track you down with my Googlehounds, and you don't want that. Aooooooo!

And wonderful posts they have been. Thanks for sharing this time with us.
They were fabulous. Enjoyed every one of them. What are we in for now? Can't wait :o)
Great pics, Julie.
I'm just glad you didn't end with the "Road Closed" sign.
Thanks for all the wonderful Dakotan posts and pics, Julie. Wonderful reading and viewing, as always!
Well, you did it again. The Dakotas are now on the list of places I must visit. Oh, to see that sky and feel the praire wind! Thanks for taking us on your journey.
What a great barn. My DIL's grandfather and great-grandfather used to build barns in Oregon. They would cut a star into the uppermost point of the front of the barn before they finished it. Everyone would know they were looking at a Sohler barn when they saw that star. Annie
My blogging friend from California sent me a link to your blog. I was confused at first - you live in Appalachian woodland but you write about North Dakota?
Perhaps you are from here. Perhaps you were on a trip to our state. I guess I must explore your blog further.
Anyway, I have enjoyed seeing these glimpses and stories of my home state. Though I know of Keith Bear, I have never met him.

Heard it is your birthday (7/24), so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope it has been a good one.
Oh I always love your blog, and the travel ones especially help me learn more about this country we live in, and the beautiful critters that inhabit it. Makes me want to re-do the travel blogs I've done recently and make then more.... nature-ish...
I'm awed by each photo, each twig and tree and each bird. Then I get to the end of this lovely work and "red horse serenely peeing" totally takes me off guard. HYSTERICAL! I love it!
Happy Birthday!
Love the last pic :)
