Sunday Letter: 11.03.19

Dear Sunday Letter friends,

Did you remember to “fall back” last night? Once again, the clock high above our pantry door shows the correct time. Until March, anyway. Ha.

FYI, Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe daylight saving time.

Something to note on this chilly November morning: Daylight Saving Time was never about the farmers. It was originally about saving energy during WWI. Today, I’m not sure what it’s about other than making our bodies feel out of sync. Crazy what one hour can do. Right?

Farm Art Friday: Vintage Wheel Rake

Happy Farm Art Friday everyone:)

While my friends and I explored the Mulberry River Valley a few days ago, I noticed this old farm implement hidden in the trees at the edge of a field. Inside the boundaries of the Ozark National Forest, we were surrounded by natural beauty and true Arkansas history in a place largely unchanged by time. This hay rake looked at home, part of the landscape. I wondered if its original owner lay buried in the Yale Cemetery only steps away.
