In the fog line outside Knoxville, late afternoon, and the ridges have gone blue in the distance. You come up the path from the glade below, cold reaching the tips of your ears and nose, the last pale light between the hemlocks. The front door is heavy and opens into warmth — a fire already going, leather wingbacks angled toward it, shelves of books along the back wall. Woodsmoke and cedar, a trace of sweet tobacco from someone's pipe earlier in the day. A bourbon glass on the side table. Outside the windows, the Tennessee ridgeline catches the last of the sun.

Highcountry Almanac
Banking the House
The flat blade of the spade strikes the frost-stiffened crust of topsoil, slicing through dead fescue and the brittle network of blackberry runners.
Putting Up
Steam coats the small window over the kitchen sink, running down the glass in straight channels that pool on the wooden sill.
American Chestnut
On the north-facing slope of a cove in the Cherokee National Forest, where the drainage drops down toward the Citico Creek bottoms, the mid-October leaf fall covers the talus in shades of dull copper and mustard.
