A snail mail club about rural farm living with three burro buddies outside my studio door. Meet my “burro buddies” through the ongoing stories of their lives and rhythm of rural living. Learn about their personalities, quirks, and individual differences that make burros unique farm partners. Through humor and heartfelt moments we experience together, there’s much to share.
This is your invitation to step away from the digital noise and rediscover the simple, slow pleasure of holding a real story in your hands. Every month, a beautifully crafted envelope will land in your mailbox—a screen-free sanctuary sent straight from the heart of rural Southwest Colorado. Inside, you will find a warm and sometimes engaging letter from the country, a unique piece of collage or photographic studio art for the "Write a Friend" postcard project, and a gentle touch of rural magic. Along for the ride are two studio cats, Maggie Magpie, generally known as Mags, and Jasper. They are never far behind, whether it’s the Studio, the house, or out to the orchard and garden areas. It is an invitation to pour a glass of lemonade or your favorite refreshment, unplug from the notifications, and savor a tangible piece of mail made entirely with care.
