Hello, and welcome to my world . . .

It’s tough out there these days, on a planet in a frightening time of change and a political world in turmoil. It’s no wonder if you feel upset, upended, upside-down. I hope you’ll take a deep breath and spend a few moments here, in a quiet space of books and gardens.

Over 35 years ago, at midlife, my husband Bill and I left our careers in the fast lane and homesteaded 31 acres of woods and meadows in the Texas Hill Country–a refuge we call Meadow Knoll.

We’re older now, but you’ll still find the two of us here, working in the garden, walking through the woods and along the creek, and enjoying our animal companions and the fascinating community of native wildlife that surrounds us.

In the first post in this series, I wrote about why I chose to begin doing research into the life of Rose Wilder Lane. Here’s Part 2.

This intrigued me, and I began to collect Rose’s writings, discovering that she was an accomplished and impressive professional writer with a long string of newspaper stories, feature pieces, travel articles, books, and magazine fiction to her credit. I also compiled a timeline of Rose’s life, beginning with her birth in 1888 on the Wilders’ claim in Dakota Territory, through the family’s move to Mansfield MO, and Rose’s early career as a telegrapher for Western Union
