My journey to work is a bit different. It’s not about a commute to a building or even a walk down the hall to virtual office. My journey to work – one of the many things that are my creative expression inspiration – takes a different road, into the past, exploring lives and work that went before. In pre-Civil War northern Alabama, in the Appalachian foothills, the place of work had no indoor plumbing. Water was drawn from dug wells. The smokehouse was smoking all through the winter. If the rains didn’t come – as they didn’t come this year all across the US – then the crops didn’t “make.” Every day spent at this old farm homestead property we are restoring is an adventure into the past, into discovery, and into understanding work and life as it was before.
