About This Blog
- 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.

A New OLD Acquaintance
I am sure I saw you, when?
Maybe ten years ago?
I think I recognized you then
Tho you were someone I didn't know.
At that time, you were like a familiar face
That you see at some annual event,
With a name that never came
Or if it did...it went.
Then today, there you were again
Staring right at me
From my mirror, into my eyes,
Blue and deep as any sea.
A sneaky thing you truly are,
You've been behind me for a while
Always following quietly
But closer with every mile.
Oh, I knew someday we'd properly meet,
Others had come to know you well,
And the alternative to meeting looked a little bleak
As near as I could tell.
So here you are, and here to stay
You certainly have grown bold.
Your last name is "AGE", to me you say,
But I can just call you "OLD".
