I, for one am in awe of anyone who can take beautiful pictures, especially country, farm and nature photos. If you enjoy nature photography, check out April's Art Gallery. She has a wonderful talent. Please take a moment, have a look and leave her a comment. Her photos, like her, are beautiful.
OK, the world is going crazy.
I am changing this blog a little. Instead of little, sporadic posts about farming and agriculture and rural life, the focus is changing. The world is going a little crazy with technology and patents and general craziness. Here will be posted the typical articles about farming, agriculture and rural life, as well as commentary and news articles about why the world just might be better if we move a bit more toward an agrarian society.
Tired of technology? Don't take up underwater basket weaving! Move back to the country and farm!!!
Growing up on an old-school Illinois farm, I learned the power and beauty of simplicity and nature. I attended Western Illinois University (WIU in the mid '80s, studying Computer Science. Since the late '80s, after graduating college, I have lived away from nature, off the farm, in cities. For brief times I enjoyed the opportunity of living in small towns (Cresco, Iowa and Bement, Illinois) but these brief respites only served to remind me what was missing in my life. I miss nature. I miss simplicity. I miss the farming life.
