Old barns. Dirt roads. Log cabins. Sleeping dogs on a porch. Fishing. Hammock naps. Eating straight out of the garden. Road trips. Hiking. Camping. Self-reflection. Forgiveness. Sunbeams through the hemlocks. Homemade bread. Watching bugs. Watching birds. Catching frogs. Grieving loss. Chopping wood. Grinding metal. Bringing a sweatshirt. Not having enough. Having plenty. Patience. Star-gazing. Pruning. Bon fires. Cheap cigars. A favorite work shirt. The perfect pocket knife. Rusty trucks. Sledding in a blizzard. Sunrises. Integrity. Perseverance. Broken-in boots. Ice cold drinks on a riverbank. Long hugs. Hand-sharpened chisels. Thrush calls. Hawk feathers. Trails nobody knows about. Mason jars. 3-in-1 oil. Projects you’ll never finish. Friends, family, music and food. Antique stores. Costly mistakes. Good advice. Shop towels. Fireflies. Chainsaws. Gas station sunglasses. Sleeping with the windows open. Weeping in prayer. Dreams realized, heartache healed.
