The Back Porch

In this section, I imagine you and I are sitting on the back porch, evening coming on, telling stories. The ones I tell are divided between Boxwood Stories—stories from our life here at Boxwood (though some, such as “The Bamboo Flute,” predate that time)—and Short Fiction, fanciful yarns (some of which may in fact have only a thin overlay of “fiction”).

Boxwood Stories

If you like, we’ll share with you a few stories from our life here at Boxwood (or maybe even from long before). Enjoy. ~Harvey

Short Fiction

In this section, I share a few short fictional pieces, many of which were written in a series of writing exercises I did with my daughter Heather and her husband Marty. Pieces included will usually have some relationship with homestead and small farm life, but not necessarily. Enjoy. ~Harvey
