Howdy! Asiyu. Welcome to my place. I'm Ron Thornton and I live in the mountains of East Tennessee, and sometimes in the foothills of Northwest Alabama. On these pages you will find what I want to share about some of my personal passions: building circles of stone; playing and listening to music; working the soil of the land; researching, creating, and sharing knowledge; eating and drinking; writing; and paying attention to the weather. Keep it in tune.
