Welcome to Gracier: June 2013
http://welcometogracier.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 21, 2013. Summer’s First Day. Corn makes its assent to knee high status. Green flickers in the bean fields. Calves have gotten their legs and dance through the pasture. The morning breeze carries the hint of July heat ready to greet us, all too soon. Gracier folks bid their fond farewell to Spring. Posted by Welcome to Gracier. Monday, June 10, 2013. What makes a man evil? Maggie somehow saw past it.or was blind to it. And now seeps into the life of the woman it was used to guard.

Welcome to Gracier: October 2012
http://welcometogracier.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 26, 2012. Boys and dance floors are like oil and water, most times. But when a pretty girl enters the room fear of moving gracefully across the dance floor, in boots made for working, seems to fade. Now I’m not saying they suddenly become Fred Astaire, they might think they do. But to “that girl” they get the nerve up to ask, well, they are. The beauty of a true country girl is that their beauty radiates whether they are in a pair of Levi’s or dressed to the hilt for Sunday church. Those ...

Welcome to Gracier: December 2012

Friday, December 28, 2012. Wisdom in a Cup. I swear sometimes she steeped wisdom in that cup. Sipping methodically as she listened to the conversation. Never judging, always hearing the story, as if only the truth was spoken. It would impart upon the story teller the need to be honest. No matter how painful. I’m sure that cup was full the day Maggie, her only daughter, told her she was with child. Posted by Welcome to Gracier. Friday, December 21, 2012. Three Old, Wise, Men. Posted by Welcome to Gracier.

Welcome to Gracier: May 2013
http://welcometogracier.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 31, 2013. Royalty in the Garden. Royalty of the garden, an iris, its golden throat, spilling into purple velvet, a scepter, grasped between the chubby fingers of the little girl who marched about. So rich, to touch it with those tiny fingers, you’d expect them to come back awash with violet. Some gardener’s in our tiny town thought it a shame to slice the stalk of the striking flora. Not her grandfather, Jonas McCabe. Posted by Welcome to Gracier. Friday, May 10, 2013. His father, Joseph, on ...

Welcome to Gracier: Soon Enough
http://welcometogracier.blogspot.com/2013/05/soon-enough.html
Friday, May 10, 2013. You have never…I mean never seen anything more antsy, more impatient than a farmer waiting for two things. Crops to go in…and crops to come out. Like a church lady getting ready to serve the congregation, or a hungry nursing baby. It can’t happen soon enough. Matthew’s passion for the smell of freshly turned dirt, he inherited from his grandfather. He can’t get out the door of the law office fast enough come spring. Posted by Welcome to Gracier.

Welcome to Gracier: January 2013

Friday, January 25, 2013. Love Hate Fear Murder Redemption. Every time the locket caught a bit of light it struck him to the core. Its spark shattered the tranquility of any moment and sent him reeling. The light of day had not touched the fragile heart for almost three decades…until now. Love, hate, fear, murder, redemption…all in the tiniest spark of gold. Posted by Welcome to Gracier. Friday, January 18, 2013. Tucked in a Drawer. Posted by Welcome to Gracier.

Welcome to Gracier: March 2013
http://welcometogracier.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 22, 2013. The biting wind of March reminds you, even at a time of renewal, there are challenges. Sometimes the gust of resistance can be too much. I know two people who could be as tough, harsh and resistant as that wind. Directness like none other, snap a wondering soul to attention. But every spring melting snow exposes. One finally succumbed. The other continues to stand. Posted by Welcome to Gracier. Friday, March 8, 2013. Posted by Welcome to Gracier. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Welcome to Gracier: February 2013

Friday, February 22, 2013. Posted by Welcome to Gracier. Thursday, February 14, 2013. Taking it for A Spin. The kids still jump up on those red vinyl stools as if on a carnival ride. Simplest things can entertain a child. Doc and her would hit the door. It would be the first place she headed. And it seemed like the one closest to Hannah was her favorite. They would keep an eye on each other. Posted by Welcome to Gracier. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Taking it for A Spin.
