I wrote about my apple trees for @FrontPorchRepub . Spoiler alert: I come around to hope even though we don’t have any blossoms here in Wisconsin yet.

.@JDMabie planted apple trees while the coronavirus spread. Is such work a sentimental distraction, or might it be a way of practicing hope? (Also, don’t miss his photos that accompany the essay.) frontporchrepublic.com/2020/04/after-…

Great stuff from Ms. Elmira Beyer in Mazama Journal 1963. “With the prospect of fulfilling this goal and competing with my energetic husband, I began preparations for making a climb [of Mt Hood.” ... “I compared each step with the 16 hours of labor I had with my first child.”

@DaeganMiller Pretty slim but mke has only sent in 60%. Not many other votes out there. I’d bet Johnson’s lead can only get smaller from here on. 🤞

Such a great piece about the American Barn as a reflection of agricultural history, economics, politics, and environmentalism.

Places Journal@PlacesJournal

Literature professor @JDMabie reflects on the continuing cultural symbolism of the traditional wooden barn even as family farms have been almost entirely replaced by multinational agribusiness. Read our latest: placesjournal.org/article/americ…

Super excited to have “American Barn” up at @PlacesJournal this morning. I’m so grateful for editors Francis Richard and Nancy Levinson, the two most generous and capable collaborators I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. placesjournal.org/article/americ…

Old school #barns are obsolete—and not spaceworthy!—but can still do cultural work to support small-scale agriculture, explains @JDMabie placesjournal.org/article/americ… via @PlacesJournal

@DaeganMiller Waves of melancholy washed over when I saw how old he is in this version. Of course he’s a grandfather but man. m.youtube.com/watch?v=zwpssh…

Wisconsin Public Radio did a garden-themed @SimplyFolkWPR show back in spring 2019. I bet they’d send you a play list if you emailed them. wpr.org/search/site/Ga…

@DaeganMiller This one is new to me, but, my goodness it’s fantastic. I’d read that essay. Probably by firelight on cold winter’s night. Our lives pass on from door to door Dust upon the wooden floor Feather rain and thunder roar We need not know the reason

What is the music club that occupies your mind? That you find yourself distractedly visiting in your mind, even if you haven't been there in awhile?
