Three Score and Ten the Introduction, Well here we go, After 50 years I am going to take another attempt at writing. The first time was the Palmer writers correspondence school in 1969. The writing will be not a book that will be written with the idea of being published, But will be a writing of thoughts unencumbered by possible publishing and monetary gain. This writing will be a hybrid of Journal and Reminisce. It is important to me that the writings are my true thoughts at the time, not influenced by any factor. The writing will try to explain how a 70 year old white, male USA citizen now relates to today's world. Is every oldest generation lost in their own world, that they aged into? What do I see, and feel as I age farther. I know I am not normal as in what this world today would consider normal. But I hope I am in the ball park writing the thoughts of a 70 year old. I hope for you to learn to know who I am, As I search for Who I am at 70+ This work will carry on until I am no longer able to think or write. This will be done on a nearly daily writing interwoven with a life's reminiscing. This writing has been in the planning for 10 plus years. and I have now made it to this starting point. This writing is dedicated to My Wife The Kitten, My family, My grand children, Lukas, Levi, Luis, Lydia and Sonora Pearl. I thank you God that you have allowed me to have your Three Score and Ten Time. |
| Three Score and Ten + Day 270 Hello, Remember Me, We got back here from the north Woods at Mid Day, We left early. Some Fridays I have something to mail out from the listings, Not today though. I try to keep to Four Business days for mailing out a sale. I do not consider Saturday a business day. So shipping is Monday and Tuesday mornings if we go north. Then if I can get back early enough I will ship Friday afternoon. Today when we got back we went to the garden with the water hose. It is really a bad sign to have to water as much as we are this early in the season. It is dry in the north also. The sweet corn is coming up now when we returned. We only planted a small amount of left over seed from last year. We wanted only enough for fresh sweet corn on the cob this summer. The past two years we planted a large amount so we have enough to carry us a year in the freezer. We do not plant everything we grow every year. During our week up north we did a lot of getting ready for the spring summer season up there. I needed to get Lawn Mowers ready, the tractor and the Roto Tiller, and the Fishing Boat. The biggest problem is a bad gas line that will need replacing on the riding mower along with a new battery. We bought it used and have had it over ten years now. Maybe it is time to think about a replacement. I am getting too old to fight with a riding lawn mower. This coming week the six blueberry plants will be received from MA. So I got the planting location marked out and turned the sod by hand. I hope it will be ready to shake out when we return to plant Blueberries. it will also need to be fenced from the states deer herd. We have three plants up there now producing. It takes three years to start harvesting, so I thought I had better not stall to long in planting more. But it should be a easy plant since the Little Dog Biscuit said he would dig the holes. But he has to be payed off in treats. I did make time one afternoon to drive to the farm. about 23 miles from the house. I wanted to take a walk into the woods and to the creek and see the Marsh Marigolds in bloom. I have not seen the flowering for a number of years. It seems I am always too busy this time of year. The creek behind the old farm buildings is beautiful, It is truly a Holy Place for me. During the summer the creek is hard to get to, So many mosquitos and ticks and a difficult walk with much rock and downed trees. The creek water was very low for this time of year. Then since I was there I continued on to the north east corner of the forty. When I was young and in my prime and I might add foolish. I built a fence across the forty into the elder swamp. I carried everything in to do the fence. That was about 45 years ago and I have not been to that end of the forty ackers since then. There is still some fence there. Maybe I can carry in a maul and at least pound down the steel posts marking the property line. Time will tell. I used to pasture heifers on that parcel and they would of course go to that end where there was very little fence. They would keep going which was the problem and end up on the highway a quarter mile away, Not Fun. The things you do when you are young, But that is what makes the world go round. If you waited for us old people to make it happen it would not happen. We are cautious, experiences have taught us that. Have Blessed Rest |
