Summer in the old church brings cobwebs, June bugs, wasps, birds, and an ever-changing cast of animals beneath the house. In this Field Note, I reflect on a slower week, the rhythms of old-home living, and the unexpected wildlife that has become part of daily life.
A quiet summer morning becomes a reminder that success isn't always measured by being busy. From gardening and fly tying to teaching beginners in the Smokies, this Field Note is about choosing a slower, more intentional life.
This first Field Note shares a summer morning inside our converted old church—living without air conditioning, tending the garden, returning from Minnesota, and finding beauty in ordinary life.
