Around the Town: Foolishness with ice boxes
By Loretta Humble/Around the Town
The wild violets have come and gone, and I’m watching for the wild honeysuckles to start blooming. They are all over the woods behind my house, and when they bloom it smells like heaven here. Jo Ann Surls told me that the honeysuckles and the hummingbirds show up at the same time. I’m pretty sure if Jo Ann say so, it’s so. I’ve never slowed down enough to notice before, but this year I will have time to watch things like flowers and little birds. As well as time to remember stuff.
I love looking across the road where my great-nephew Wesley has a lot of projects going on. I love it because it reminds me of how it was when we lived over there 70 years ago. Wesley’s modern home replaces the old house where I was born, which Daddy and Mama tore down and turned into a smaller house when I was nine. I guess that was Daddy’s biggest project.

Around the Town: Checking the wild violets
By Loretta Humble/Around the Town
The wild violets are blooming on my little piece of the old Sims Place. I took a walk in the woods Sunday to check on them, like I’ve done nearly every year for at least 70 years. I can report that this is a bumper crop year for violets. And every single year I get excited when I see them. Winter is past. Things are new again. Soon poke salad will be peeking through the brush.
Another thing that happened was that the electricity went off. Just for a few hours at a time, a couple of times, but during that time, there was no television, and after the charge played out, no telephone. So it was real quiet out here fora little while. Seeing the violets, and then having to be quiet for a little while gets a person to thinking.
