A thing of beauty graces the skies: Our place in this universe. We've lost something by not having to rise at the crack of dawn to get a head start on the farm chores. We no longer witness the sky's slow shift from indigo to blue as the rising sun lifts night's shadows from the Earth. 8226;••. Venus is a mysterious world thanks...

Finding moral roots in a strawberry patch. U-pick berry operations are on the decline as people increasingly shift away from their agricultural past. It's much more convenient to buy some little wooden baskets or cardboard crates of berries already plucked by someone else. After all, we need to question and experiment to survive.

We admire essays that are decisive / We like our humor droll / A philosophy that's inclusive / Would resonate with Cornfield Soul! Cornfield Soul" fan Roger Swartz. May 29, 2005. Spend a few hours staring at the sky. Here on the Great Plains, we have an added advantage. There are no mountains as out West or high hills like in the East to block our vista.
