| Old Split Rail Fence - John Harmon |
- Build a little fence of trust around today;
- Fill the space with loving deeds,
- And therein stay.
- Look not through the sheltering bars Upon tomorrow;
- God will help thee bear what comes of joy and sorrow.
- Mary F. Butts
- So they all went away from the little log house.
- The shutters were over the windows,
- so the little house could not see them go.
- It stayed there inside the log fence,
- behind the two big oak trees that in the
- summertime had made green roofs for
- Mary and Laura to play under.
Laura Ingalls Wilder - There is no fence nor hedge
- round time that is gone.
- You can go back and have what
- you like of it
if you can remember.

Memories from the Five Senses

(Part Three)
The smell of wood smoke and the spicy pungent
smell of apple butter cooking in the copper
kettle outside in the fall. And the way the
smoke followed you as you stirred it - had to
be constantly stirred all day.

A rainbow during or after a rain - it seemed
to be a miracle. Of course, the first one was.
Still seems like one to me.

The wild, lonesome sound of wild geese flying
over in spring and fall. They have become a
nuisance now, but then they were rare. Seeing
and hearing them was a real treat.
The Cry of the Wild Goose

Seeing Mama Robin chasing our gray
cat under the porch. The cat tried to
eat her babies, and Mama chased the cat
more than 50 feet, at full speed. I didn’t
know it could run so fast!
The sight and sound of a bee swarm -
Bumble Boogie
An American instrumental ensemble in
the early 1960s, who specialized in making
rock and roll arrangements of classical
melodies. Session musicians all had other
studio commitments, a teen band from
Ada, Oklahoma, who had played no part in
the recording itself, were recruited to handle
promotion and public appearances.
Reached # 21 on the Billboard charts in June 1961.
The dance scene is from the movie "Hellza Poppin".
B Bumble and the Stingers
The taste of hot red-eye gravy
(Some called it fried water.)
over hot biscuits - wow!

The sight and sound of a bee swarm -
truly awe-inspiring.
They seem to fill the sky.

The feel, on a cool fall day, of long johns,
wool socks, flannel shirts, and boots.
The freedom, in spring, of taking
off the long johns, wool socks,
flannel shirts, and boots.
The literal breath of fresh air when jumping
out of the hot, dusty, close barn loft after
stacking a load of hay in it.
The feel of hoeing the last hill
of corn in the field, storing the last bale
of hay for the season, shearing
the last sheep, etc. Someone always said,
“That’s the one we’ve been looking for”!
The sweet smell of red clover, lilacs,
honeysuckle, and yellow locust blossoms -
the finest French perfume isn’t even close.
The acrid smell of green oak sawdust -
you can smell it a hundred feet away.
The silence of snow falling in the woods -
it is so silent that it seems that you can hear
individual snow flakes hitting tree limbs.
There is nothing like taking a walk in the
woods in a heavy snow fall.
Those folks who wrote and recorded that
song about the sounds of silence knew nothing -
this is the real sound of silence.
The smell of an
approaching snowstorm.
The sight of a new born lamb or calf
struggling to get to its feet, finding the teat,
and having its first meal. After that first meal,
it vigorously shakes itself. It is the miracle of
new life that never grows old.
The sky at night. With no ambient lights
in the entire area, the stars were magnificent
on a clear night. Clear moonless nights were
especially spectacular.
