Into the Woods

I apologize for the long absence from the blog, and I appreciate the emails asking if everything is OK. I’m heavily involved in a local political campaign, trying to bring a little progress to Stokes County. Things will get back to normal after the election.

Today was the first day in many days that I didn’t have to go out. It was a perfect day for that. Reading Ivanhoe in my room, all I could hear was the cat purring under the blanket, the rain dripping from the eaves, and a crow over on the ridge.
