Who but the Creator could have got Angelkeep so much beauty in one Journals place?” The words were from a book I recently devoured and written by an author who once lived in Marion. “Focus the Bright Land” takes place primarily in Indiana dur- ing the summer of 1881. Because of those facts, I could really relate to the book’s characters, having seen plenty of Hoosier beauty here at Angelkeep. My admired beauty comes from Alan plants and animals—and Gwen—but Daugherty she’d be embarrassed if she knew I put that in the newspaper column. Peace we have aplenty at Angelkeep as well. Most of the time. But when you are dealing with nature, the way our Creator, God, established it, there are bound to be bits and pieces of the less-than passive. For example there is the constant battle engaged upon at Angelkeep trying to minimize poison-ivy and creep- ing Charlie. Oh yes, and thistles and a volume of weeds that I’ve never taken time to identify. Trying to keep ahead on Angelkeep weed extraction can make one pull their hair out.
