About This Blog

My photo
I have loved things Country and Western all of my life. I have loved the ranches and farms. the fields, the barns, livestock, and the food. I was born and raised in Kentucky where I learned to love and appreciate the beauty, hard work, and value of country living, Most of my family lived on farms and/or were livestock producers. I have raised various livestock and poultry over the years. I have sold livestock feed and minerals in two states. My big hats and boots are only an outward manifestation of the country life I hold dear to my heart. With the help of rhyme or short story, in recipes or photos, I make an effort in this blog to put into words my day to day observations of all things rural; the things that I see and hear, from under my hat. All poems and short stories, unless noted otherwise, are authored by me. I hope you enjoy following along.

The Fire

Sat on the back porch till well past dark last night. A nice fire in the outdoor fireplace kept a little space between me and crisp air. Something ancient, primal about a fire on a cool evenin. Flames dancin like their tryin to catch the smoke. Just watchin it warms a body and relaxes the mind. Kind of like comfort food for the soul. Sept 2011
