It’s all about me

Here is an update on what the hell is going on with me. I’m telling you even if you don’t care.

Sounds of Home

0

As a child growing up on the farm, I didn’t give much thought at the time to the sounds around me. They were nothing out of the ordinary, really, just everyday sounds in the soundtrack of my life. Somehow, certain sounds can stick with a person as the years go by and ring loudly in my ears today.

Are you a farmer?

It could be at an airport, waiting in line at the grocery store, at the café down on the corner, or just about anywhere. Imagine meeting a complete stranger and getting to know that person in just a few minutes. For some of you, this would be an exciting adventure.

Home from the Forest

0

Beloved Canadian singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot penned the words to “Home from the Forest” in the 1960’s. In this song, an old man nearing the end of his life looks back on the wrong turns he has taken and longs for an old house on a hillside when the wildflowers did bloom in, and the river runs down from, the forest. This spring, even if you don’t have an old house, wildflowers, or a river, if you are so inclined, you too can plant trees and come home from your very own forest.

Mom was right!

“Winter won’t last forever,” my mother used to say—usually about midway through the season.

Take a (forestry) hike

0

On Saturday, Feb. 10, the Preble Soil and Water Conservation District urges you to get out and take a hike. A Winter Forestry Hike, that is. Savannah Ballweg, currently employed by Miami University and formerly employed as District Educator at Preble SWCD, will be leading the way. The hike will begin at 10 a.m. at the Preble County Historical Society Farm and will end sometime before noon.

February a short but active month

(Again, this review only covers 90 years because the bound edition of the1924 Brookville Star is too delicate to tolerate handling.)
