This week, The Flint River
The Flint River, which is contained entirely within the state of Georgia, originates on the southern edge of the Atlanta metropolitan area under the Hartsfield-Jackson-Atlanta International Airport, in Clayton County, and flows southerly in a wide eastward arc to Decatur County in southwest Georgia, before flowing into Lake Seminole.

The Farm Wife at Two Pennies Farm
“Composting leads to ponderings”So, I’m cleaning Zuki the bird’s cage and I reach to the shelf underneath for some fresh newspaper. I notice the stack of old papers is about a foot high and this gives me pause. Why do I have so much?

In one unthinkable […]
Let the Music Speak
“Calvary Covers It All”Easter is a special time for me. I remember Easter Sunday’s with my family. As early as I can remember, the family always got up with the chickens to prepare for Easter. Mom would prepare Sunday lunch, not to mention having to dress me. Dad would always make sure my siblings were up also. We would all dress up in […]
From the Editor’s Desk
The other day I had to look through some old photos of holidays long gone for a project. It was refreshing to see photos of Christmas morning, me dressed in Winnie the Pooh footed pajamas, or Six Million Dollar Man, and Mama with her hair piled on top of her head.
