More and more, I find myself digging in deep to things that are long forgotten. My wife calls them ‘hobbies.’ She may be right, but I feel it’s more. Maybe it’s because I feel I have to live up to my ancestors past, or maybe, the things I watched my dad do when I was a boy really did rub off on me. I often ask myself, what do my kids watch me spend my time on? I want to make that answer meaningful… and intentional. I also like to have something tangible to show for my time. Maybe it’s a deer steak, maybe it’s a stained-glass window, a bottle of wine, a jar of honey, a carving of wood. I threw myself in trying my hand at these various “hobbies” years ago when it became clear to me that life is short and not guaranteed. I hope the entries here inspire you to turn off the TV and go outside. Talk back here, or on the Morgan Ranch Facebook group page
