I inherited this little mystery #plant when we moved into the #Appalachian #Bungalow. I just noticed the quiet green shoots pushing up through last year’s leaves. 🌱

Every day I check on it like an old friend, waiting to see what it becomes. I think I know what it is but am interested in seeing your opinions.

There’s something beautiful about tending what someone else once planted… a tiny living inheritance. A history of #hope springs eternal.

I don't like surprises but this one, in the garden, I can handle. We don't always know about the roots but maybe they bring new beginnings growing right where we stand. 💚

Sad to see our park signs treated like this. Public lands deserve respect and we should take care of what belongs to all of us. From a Scenic Overlook in Southern #Appalachia 🌲🪧

I think I am able to read enough to find a forest ranger's name that I can research and add to #WikiTree for #genealogy.

Court Cantrell does not comply 7h ago

So, I just finished reading DEMON COPPERHEAD by Barbara Kingsolver. It was utterly unputdownable, I got mad at my family for speaking to me while I was reading it, and when I read the final sentence and closed the book all I could say was "DAMN."

Highly recommend, y'all. HIGHEST OF HIGHLY.

By Casey NicholsonLast week we posted our list of Thirteen Concerts That Rocked Appalachia in 2025.
