As nature’s wheel turns, the season cycles towards peace found in Winter incubation before unfolding into Spring, blooming in Summer, and then making way to Harvest season again. Samhain welcomes the dark side of two halves. As one of the four…

The Making of Delevan House #7
The first day of October leaves us speechless, as it’s the official entrance to everything Autumn, our favorite time of the year. No words adequately describe the beauty of it.

The Making of Delevan House #5.1
Living on a rural ranch has taught me a genuine appreciation for nature and the night sky. Not that I didn’t always love watching clouds, but things hit you differently when there are no city lights to obstruct your view.
