Read what an odd dream taught me about aging, time travel, and living life to its fullest.

Should we mourn the loss of the leaves? Or should we celebrate the life of the tree?

We cannot control every situation, but we should always remember that we can control how we respond.

I had not walked the trails for two weeks, so the first walk was pretty special. We discovered a beautiful turtle beside the creek and a small beaver swimming upstream.

Humans are great at taking something remarkably simple and twisting it into something unremarkably complicated.

I suspect we have some new fawns on the way. Read more here.

The weather is warmer, and the days are longer. It’s a great time to get out for evening walks after an early dinner.

I made the 10 minute drive to Wiggins Mill Reservoir where I found a private, shaded parking spot. We’ll see how the fishing is here, but so far it has been relaxing! Okay, fish on!

While living in the woods can be a wonderful experience, it's important to consider these potential challenges before making the move.

The property’s newest residents are a pair of Carolina Wrens, which I named Kilo Wren and Wrenfield (to the dismay of our local bats).

By the time I snapped a photograph, my new friend was already on the move. Can you spot the snake’s tail in the photograph above?

I’m excited for the new fishing season.

Join me as I make new discoveries on my journey into the woods. Today, new wildlife and old memories that make a difference.

I have a daily ritual I conduct upon waking. Once I am vertical and before anything else, I walk to the bedroom window, slide one of the blind slats up, and peek outside.

One thing that strikes me about the flora and fauna I see is their extraordinary self-reliance.

Consider this an open invitation to hang out in a virtual place focused on simple living and nature's rugged wisdom.
