{This moment}

My parting nod to Arkansas. This from a gathering of Civil War reenactors that J and I stumbled upon on our drive out of Little Rock last Saturday. It's been both thrilling and gut-wrenching to consider you, Miss Arkansas. But this time the bluegrass state wins out. Berea, Kentucky, here I come.

Inhabitant

I’m an anxious academic who recently fled the big city for the rural South. I now reside in an old house with a charming -- if curmudgeonly -- historian, J, and our latest addition, a roadside puppy named Homer. I’m happiest with a skein of yarn, a lump of clay, a yard of fabric, a cup of flour. I might be less happy--but I'm satisfied in other ways--with a stack of papers or an article needing revisions. This space records and reflects this tension, between vocation and avocation. It's neither entirely domestic nor culinarily concerned. It's often autobiographical, sometimes downright chatty. Though it may not seem like it, I hide more than I disclose, but that's just to keep you guessing.
