Sometimes you find an immature bird that has fallen out of the nest, which can happen in the spring when the birds are old enough to move around in the nest but too young to fly. The flopping about sometimes puts them on the ground and in serious trouble. kAm$@ H92E E@ 5@nk^AmkAmx7 J@F 42? 7:?5 2?5 D276=J C6249 E96 ?6DE :E 76== @FE @7 J@F 42?

A blue sky has a positive impact on our psyche, not only being something beautiful to behold but also because it foretells a day of nice weather. The blue is even more enhanced if there are bright white clouds present. kAm%9:D =625D E@ 2 BF6DE:@?

My Grandpa Roark was really into doing farm activities according to the signs, be it planting crops, killing weeds, or dehorning cattle. And his preference was to go by a system that used human body part signs to tell when it was a good time to do things: plant root crops when the signs are in the head and kill weeds when the signs are in the bowels.

Spring is a great time of year, when the dull browns of winter give way to fresh grass, soft greens of newly opened leaves, and lots of flower blooms. Actively seeking out wildflowers in their varying habitats is an enjoyable way to spend warming spring days, roaming the woods and fields for some fresh air, exercise, and the challenge of the hunt. kAmp?

An additional challenge if you’re so inclined, is identifying them.

During the spring you can look at the mountains and tell where the streams and small drains are by looking for the streaks of green that the early leafing yellow poplar produces. It prefers to grow where the soil is deep and moist. Yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) is the state tree of both Kentucky and Tennessee, and its size, beauty, and usefulness is worthy of the title. The name is misleading, for it is not in the poplar family, which includes aspen and cottonwood.

Every now and then I like to celebrate our heritage and list words that I’ve heard spoken in the mountain dialect. There is a difference between those raised in the country and those raised in the city, with the country folk using more dialect than those from the city. My parents and kin were of the country variety, so I had a rich collection of words to enjoy. In past articles I’ve covered A through C words. This one does the Ds. See how many you have heard used.
