It’s going go be a long wait to see the road surface again. Never thought I’d be happy to see mud!

I'd welcome an invitation to speak or present the photographic "essays" for your group.
This list is FAR too short! Please let me know of upcoming "author-book events"--especially those where authors can interact with readers.
Sept 9: Speaker, Combined Wilderness Road and Stuart Chapters, Daughters of the American Revolution.
Sept 12: Western Virginia Land Trust Conservation Celebration. Details TBA. Come hang out and chat with Fred about the land-care aspect of his writing.
October 10: Wytheville Writers Group to discuss What We Hold In Our Hands: a Slow Road Reader and other writing projects.
What We Hold In our Hands ~ Image Gallery @ SmugMug and SlideShow on YouTube.

It's early September and our pasture is knee high, lush, and each morning full of dew-covered spider webs. It will bear cutting again, hopefully for hay, very soon. We're without anyone to do that work now, so If you know of anyone who might be interested, here's the story.

My goodness!! At least you still have power … I can only imagine what my property looks like – must be beautiful! But I hear that the wind is picking up and there is another storm on the way, perhaps arriving on Christmas Eve. Stay warm and safe!
Wading out there to take that photo must have been a wet propostion. I bet Tsuga is a fun sight, floundering around.
Keep us updated if you can.

Road conditions were compounded last night by an application of sleet and then freezing temperatures. Walking the road is dangerous, let alone driving. I’m stuck at home, so the local burger joint is a man short this morning.
Been thinkin’ about you alot, Fred. I’m sure Tsuga thinks this all a lot of fun, but pioneering gets old pretty quick.

The snow pictures are great. Makes me nostagice. But ice on top of snow is not fun! I hope you don’t get that, too. Actually, ice in any configuation is not fun.
While there is a break between storms, I want to tell you that the calendar arrived timely and in good shape. It is even more beautiful in real life! I’ll soon have it on the wall.
May you and yours stay safe and warm and have the time to relax and enjoy, not only the snowy landscape, but also the blessings of Christmas.
