Remember Kudzu?
A plant that originated in Asia (China, Japan, Korea) was brought to the US on purpose and introduced as a high-protein cattle fodder and a vine to stop soil erosion. By the time I took a vacation in Tennessee in the 1990's to look up information about our family history on my father's side of the...

Turning To Food
Food has become an obsession for so many in this age of being told to stay at home, wear a mask, wash your hands every hour, shortages on this and that, and often worrying about nothing to eat, nothing to feed my family, "Give us this day our daily bread...", lost job, no money.... How long can we...

And So It Goes
I am to the part of my life that is well known for being a slow thinker, along with only being able to deal with one thing at a time.

Interstellar Dust Revised For Ribcage
How can I tell you of my love when you are gone beyond where I can presently go? How can I show you how much I care when you are not here, and cannot hear my lamenting song? I can only hold your memory to my shrinking heart, now like the rock core of a collapsing giant. My feelings spin like...

No Excuse--It Just Is
What do you do when you have something to do that you don't want to do? I go to bed, pull a soft pillow over my head, and let the problem rest for however long it takes to absorb the fact that it is not going to go away on its own, that there is no one else that I can pass it on to that will do it,...

He Flew Away Today
Known for his Southern rock, country, and bluegrass music since the 1950's, Charlie Daniels was much loved by many and will be missed even though his music is easy to access. He was most known for his "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" but my favorite is this one:
