I saw many fields harvested like this growing up, even small fields right around my home in north <a href="https://56755.blogspot.com">St. Vincent</a>. <a href="https://56755.blogspot.com/2006/12/profile-mr-bordeniuk.html">Mr. Bordeniuk</a>, who lived just a half block south of us, had two small fields by our place - one directly west of the house between us and Philip Cameron's, and one north and a bit northeast between us and where the dike was. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Believe it or not, he used to seed these fields the old way, by hand-casting the seed out of a big sling bag hung around his shoulders and laying again his chest. I watched him do this myself more than once. He had a rhythm, alternately grabbing seed with his right and left hands as he slowly walked, casting the seed in arcs. His skill in seeding this way was proven as the plants emerged and you saw an even field, no gaps or crowding. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Before I had horses and fenced most of our pasture in, Philip Cameron hayed our pasture each year. In a good year, he was able to get two cuttings off of it; he used some of the same methods to cut the hay into rows that he would go over with again with a baler, to make into small square bales. He had seeded it in a mixture of timothy and alfalfa. Between his small fields behind his home - which bordered against the Red River - and our hay land, he was able to feed his dairy and beef cows. He and his wife lived a 'sustainable' life way before that became the modern term it means now. Years ago, many in <a href="https://56755.blogspot.com">St. Vincent</a> lived that way. It was a simple, but GOOD life...</span></div>Trishymousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10448388630980259659noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399469.post-24162473740733138262021-06-26T15:29:00.000-05:002021-06-26T15:29:06.369-05:00Long Ago & Not Far Away<span style="font-size: x-large;">I cannot believe how many years have passed by...on days like this, beautiful June sunny days I think of riding out under the sun and then I remember no, those days are gone, but boy I wish they weren't. </span><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">I can still smell my horse's sweat and the leather of the saddle. </span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DnIZ7SZ1TQQ/YNeMuTI6XII/AAAAAAABUZ0/b_vXOjtxzC4tQ4sN3xRLfxw-o56a-YFUACLcBGAsYHQ/s507/sarina.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="507" data-original-width="484" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DnIZ7SZ1TQQ/YNeMuTI6XII/AAAAAAABUZ0/b_vXOjtxzC4tQ4sN3xRLfxw-o56a-YFUACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/sarina.jpg" /></a></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Sarina, knee deep in clover, alfalfa, and timothy.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Summer 1973, it was her first day at our place in the new pasture that Dad & Ed Falk helped put up corner posts on.

Mrs. Knutson was our teacher for that year, and I remember her as a competent, pleasant woman but one that you just felt inclined to pay attention to. I became very engaged and fascinated with learning to write in longhand.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The class was called Penmanship, and the activity itself was called handwriting. I never heard it referred to as cursive until my own children were in school many years later...</span><br />

<br />
<sup>1</sup> - Historic Present (tense) is often used in usual discourse; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Jespersen">Jespersen</a> said that "<i>The speaker, as it were, forgets all about time and recalls what he is recounting as vividly as if it were now present before his eyes.</i>"<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>The <i>historic present</i> is its own separate tense</u>:<br />
<br />
It is interesting to note that the rules for the distribution of -s in subject-verb concord do not apply in the "historic present", where -s even occurs with an adjacent, non-coordinated personal pronoun subject. Consider the following examples from Irish English (3a) and from north east Yorkshire (3b-c)<br />
<br />
(3) a. And I goes down and gets him by the neck<br />
<br />
b. I says<br />
<br />
c. in comes I<br />
<br />
This suggests that the historic present, which is <b>used to bring dramatic effect to the narration of past events</b>, is a special marked tense and not merely the present tense used to refer to the past.<br />

<br />
We may have been friends for nine years on Facebook, but we've been friends for over 46 years in real life.<br />
<br />
Our mares both had foals in 1974. We spent that summer riding across the countryside with their little ones running free alongside us.<br />
<br />
You were one year ahead of me, Kathy, at NDSU. I joined you there, ending up your dorm room mate, in the fall of 1977 (circumstantially, for only one quarter, but it was very memorable...)<br />
<br />
We both ended up being single mothers, doing it our own way, but finding lasting love later in life.<br />
<br />
We've come a long, long way, old friend...Trishymousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10448388630980259659noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399469.post-42180269046349201342019-07-31T07:58:00.001-05:002019-07-31T11:56:31.522-05:00Gold Wedding Anniversary Moment-in-Time<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">1993. One year before I lost 80+ pounds. Five years before Mom and Dad sold their home and built their dream home in New Mexico. Eight years before they had to come home due to declining health, and Dad passed away soon after. 14 years before Mom passed on. 25 years until one of the two tall, old oak trees that held the rope swing for over a century, fell down from age, finally giving up the ghost. But for this one moment, we were all there, alive, happy to be with one another. That time never came again. Remember to always, ALWAYS cherish the moments you have...</span></span><br />

He was very worried about Mom starting the last year they were there 2000 and into early 2001. He saw her changing, and because he was aware of his own body weakening, it greatly worried him. He was under a lot of stress. Bills weren't getting paid or were being paid late. Their house wasn't being kept as tidy as it once was. He was at the point that he needed more help and Mom couldn't give it to him, and I got the impression they weren't always able to avail themselves of services that might have helped, as they once would have done due to forgetfulness, stress, confusion, and/or poor health. Their church friends stepped in and finally called us...It greatly saddens me it had to be like that for them. They deserved better.

<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-large;">I</span> lost a good friend recently - an old oak tree that was one of two that held up an iron bar, a set of rings, from which ropes hung that held a wooden seat. <span style="font-size: large;">My grandfather put it up over a century ago.</span> My mother and her siblings, my sisters and I and my nieces, nephews, and my children all swung on it.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But a recent bad storm broke the tree in half</span>, at the point where the tree had grown around the iron bar many, many years ago. Slowly but surely, my childhood home is going back to nature.<br />
<br />
The acorns, the oak leaves I collected and preserved in wax paper with an iron. The red squirrels that made it their home and ran through the branches chattering and chasing one another. I didn't even hear any squirrels or even birdsong in the little woods north of the old home I grew up in.<br />
<br />
I feel incredibly sad but realize this is how things are, always have been, and always will be. Change is the only constant...Trishymousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10448388630980259659noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399469.post-64289402501139846382019-04-16T04:23:00.000-05:002019-04-16T04:26:20.333-05:00Dragging the Road with Dad<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;"><b>O</b></span><span style="font-size: large;">ne of the things I loved to do with Dad when I was a little girl, was ride along with him as he dragged our gravel road. He'd hook up the metal-framed, metal-toothed implement to the back of the '51 Chevy, I'd jump in the front seat to ride shotgun with him, and off we'd go! Slow at first, but then I'd yell, "Faster, Dad...faster!" I had the window rolled down and I'd always put my hand out to catch the foxtails as they whipped past, slapping on my fingertips. Dad had told me that first time about trying it, and I fell in love with that feeling of freedom. I'd lean out to feel the wind against my face, to drink in the S P E E D (which in actuality was not very fast, but it </span><b style="font-size: x-large;">felt</b><span style="font-size: large;"> fast...) </span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;">A</span>while back, I was reminded of <a href="https://estherscancerdiary.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/painting-flannelgraph/">a very specific art form</a> to the religion of my youth - the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flannelgraph">flannelgraph</a>. During many a Sunday School, I was riveted to the stories portrayed using this technique, often begging to be allowed to change the scenery and the characters between scenes.
I then watched a video while reminiscing, remembering how the stories would deeply connect with me, especially when told by particular ladies of my church.<br />
<br />
I recall one person in particular. She had a soft, engaging voice that drew me in. Looking back now, I can see that it was also one of my early experiences of <a href="https://preservationist.blogspot.com/2013/05/asmr-auditory-orgasms.html">ASMR</a>; I got tingles when letting myself immerse into the story, on a combination physical/emotional level through the sounds of the flannel moving across the soft surfaces, the teacher's voice, etc.<br />

I am SEW (pun!) excited about this book!! I ordered it recently and it's on its way to me. This video shows some of the exciting projects and lessons I'll be learning from it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I recently got back into embroidery after a much-too-long break from it. I learned embroidery as a wee girl from my Grandma Fitzpatrick. I loved doing it, and did pillowcases, dresser scarves, and dish towel sets back then. My little fingers were busy, busy, busy learning straight, lazy daisy, french knot, and satin stitches. It has been so much fun getting back into it. I look forward to making my first embroidery journal, or book of stitches!</div>

I don't remember why I was mad, but I was so upset that I wanted her to be very worried about me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I ran out of the house, grabbed my red tricycle, and started madly peddling down the gravel road towards Grandma's house. Halfway there, I realized that Mom would likely check for me there first thing. So I thought I'd really outfox her, and went into the big ditch and hid in some trees. It seemed like it took her a long time, but soon she walked past me on her way up town. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I waited as she inevitably came back. As she walked past the area I hid within, I could hear her say, "I am so sad. I hope Patricia comes home soon..." I almost spoke up, but I was a very stubborn little girl,and held onto my anger. After she left for home, I waited to make sure she was really gone.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I struggled to drag my trike back to the road, but I did it. On to Grandma's house! When I got there a couple of minutes later, I ran into the front porch, letting the wooden screen door slam behind me. Inside, Grandma was in the kitchen. I don't really remember a lot after that, except that once there, I felt home-free. I had accomplished my goals: I ran away, and I worried my Mom. I was satisfied. I obviously got picked up at some point and brought home. But in the meantime, I may have managed to wrangle an overnight at Grandma's house with homemade hot cocoa and brown sugar toast in the morning...</div>

</tbody></table>
I'll be having bariatric surgery two weeks from today. Gastric Bypass surgery to be exact. Last night was my last normal meal for many weeks. Today I start a pre-operative diet to prepare my body for the procedure, mainly, as they told me, to lessen fat around the liver, making the operation easier.<br />
<br />
After surgery, I will be in hospital for a few days, walking every 2 hours or so to ensure all the air they pump into me during the surgery makes its way up my body and out. When I go home, I was told I'll need to take it easy for 2-3 weeks so nothing internally is torn or hemorrhages. I'll be having a liquid diet only at first, then pureed, and finally at about 2 months I graduate to soft foods, etc.<br />
<br />
I am told that a lifelong habit of chewing to applesauce consistency, eating slowly, eating small amounts but more often, is how I'll be eating from now on. I'll also need to eat a combination of high protein and nutrient-dense foods (certain vegetables and fruits, but mostly vegetables) - rather like a Paleo diet. And lots and lots of water (minimum of 64 ounces a day, taken 30 minutes before and after meals which are only 2 hours apart, leaving one hour to drink in sips only of 1-2 ounces at a time...I still can't figure out how they think we're going to get 64 ounces drank a day at that rate...!!)<br />
<br />
<br />
The final piece of the puzzle is to move more. Housework, stairs, walking, yoga, weights - all will be part of my daily life for the rest of my life. <br />
<br />
I admit I'm nervous. But I'm also excited. I want to have a great quality of life as I enter the homestretch of my life. Sure, I'm only 58, but I don't kid myself - it's more likely I have less time left than the life I've lived. Whatever time I have left, I want it to be as healthy and fulfilling as possible. If you're reading this, I encourage you to do the same...Trishymousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10448388630980259659noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399469.post-71598253520387172762017-03-22T16:11:00.001-05:002017-03-22T16:11:55.392-05:00Old Friends<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: x-large;"><b>M</b></span>any of the trees of my childhood home are gone now. They were very large and old oak and elm, surrounding our home like giant sentinels. They guarded us, a canopy providing cooling shade in summer, and with endless entertainment - from racing squirrels who sometimes had ferocious, chattering quarrels - to choruses of bird song from morning to night. There wasn't an upstairs' window you could look out, without seeing a branches of trees nearby, curling around towards the house like hugs.<br />
<br />
The rustling of their leaves could be soft and comforting with a breeze, or loud and threatening during a windstorm. Strong winds would cause them to creak and snap; once during a storm of my early childhood, one of the mightiest and oldest oaks snapped in two about 12 feet up, thankfully falling away from the house. It lay there for many years, only its outstretched branches taken away. I used it to play on, climbing on it higher and higher as I gained confidence. Finally one day I got to the top and looked down on my mother hanging out clothes, calling down to her in victory. It has been thrilling and at the same time terrifying, climbing up so high, but something inside me pushed me on to do it.<br />
<br />
In winter, their branches were so bare in stark contrast to their heavy summer foliage. Like giant shado puppets, they seemed to be in constant silhouette against the white, white snow. They stood guard around the house, while their brethren in the woods to the north stood at the ready. When it would get very, very cold, the trees would crack and boom. The first time I heard them do that, it scared me and I asked my mother what that was and she explained. <br />
<br />
Trees are more expressive than many people realize if they don't live among them all the time. Especially the older, larger trees. There were many days and nights I heard the wind and trees make the most forlorn moaning and creaking sounds together. With the shorter days, it made for much melancholy even for a child. Spring became that much more sweet and meaningful after months of cold and short days.

My dorm room mate was my best friend Kathy. I listened to this song over and over again, because it spoke to me with it's melancholy melody, and lyrics that reminded me so much of parts of my life at that time. "...riding on the roadside..." was to me, the idyllic summers my friend and I had riding our horses day after day, with no cares at all. We knew at the time it wouldn't last, so we drank it in and treasured it, even as it was happening. Days and days of sunshine, wind, and open prairie, cantering and galloping across the fields and dirt roads. This song brings it all back to me...Trishymousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10448388630980259659noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399469.post-26469867659611225012016-11-22T18:47:00.000-06:002017-03-22T15:31:28.163-05:00Tar Paper, Lath, & Storm Windows<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Every fall, Dad would get the wooden storm windows out of storage in the shed, and swap them out for the screen windows; he did both the downstairs and the second storey. It was during one of these bi-annual chores, up on a wooden ladder doing an upstairs' window, that <a href="http://preservationist.blogspot.com/2013/06/1966-very-bad-year.html">the accident</a> happened.<br />

There was even times that windows were additionally covered with plastic and lath. In 1966, during the period when we were still doing this (all the way until 1977 when my folks replaced all the windows), the house was already 60 years old. My grandparents <a href="http://56755.blogspot.com/2011/11/homestead.html">built it themselves</a> in 1906. It needed some seasonal tender-loving care to cut heating costs and keep us nice and cosy!<br />

I grew up with people always saying, "Smile", or "Why don't you smile?" or "Things can't be that bad?!" or "It takes more muscles to frown than smile..." And it always bugged me that they'd said those things because I knew inside me there was so much going on I didn't have time to think about what my face was doing, which in most cases wasn't a frown by the way but just a relaxed face.<br />
<br />
Like when they would say "Don't shout!" when they thought I was shouting. Shouting?, I thought. "Shouting?", I responded. "This isn't shouting. THIS IS SHOUTING!", as they covered their ears. Meanwhile I was simultaneously angry and laughing inside me - angry because I was sick of hearing that from people ("You talk too loud" or "Your voice carries") and knowing I was just talking - just, talking - but lucky me, I had a "voice that carries".<br />
<br />
Anyways, back to smiling and happiness. I would say that there have been moments, maybe even hours or a period of some time, when I felt wonderful, for a variety of reasons, due to circumstances and/or other people's influences or actions in my life, but I never feel overly positive or what I have always imagined happy must mean, or what happy people are as a general rule. I have always had in the pit of my stomach, knots. Sometimes they get tighter, and sometimes they loosen, but they are always there. There is dread in the back of my mind, and I think is there something I should be doing, or doing better. I try to stay busy doing things that make me feel accomplished or needed. I distract myself by escaping into another world with books and TV and films. I write to get the thoughts that are crowding my mind out and onto the page to read and re-read and have them make some sort of sense to me or anyone else that might read them. I cope, distract, and escape. But happy? I don't know anything about happy.Trishymousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10448388630980259659noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399469.post-32597816631324800002016-08-22T20:24:00.000-05:002019-04-16T04:49:12.878-05:00Carpenter's Tool Chest.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;"><b>M</b></span>y great grandfather was a carpenter. I don't think he ever had a tool chest as grand as this one. But he did have one. I saw the remnants of it in my grandparents' main street home's upstairs. By the time I went exploring up there, it was becoming like an abandoned building, except that the rest of the house was still quite alive. But upstairs, there were just cast iron head and foot boards, frames, and open springs (as they did such things from the early 1900s or before), the odd small stand, wall pegs that clothes once hung on, and lots and lots of dusty hardwood floors. <br />
<br />
In the top, open landing, right at the head of the stairs, there was a small rocking chair, and a closet of sorts - the only one there was in the whole upstairs - and in that closet were boxes of...books. It was like finding a treasure chest to a little girl like me who had discovered the joy of reading. I found out later that those books had belonged to my grandfather, who had been an avid reader all his life, although he didn't always have the time to read. Those books he had bought and especially cherished had been saved in those boxes. He was a man of letters, although in his actual life he led a much more humble existence. <br />
<br />
In the middle bedroom, there was an old chest. There wasn't anything in it when I looked, except that I discovered a tray of sorts that could be removed so that you could access a good portion of the bottom of the chest. I learned later that that was where my great grandfather's tool boxes, including the one with the carrying handle, were kept. I'm not sure why there was a chest like this entirely for packing up tools, but now after all of these years, my theory is that this is what <a href="http://preservationist.blogspot.com/2011/12/brick-wall.html">William Fitzgerald</a> - father of my grandmother, father-in-law of my intellectual grandfather - had used to ship his livelihood in when he moved from P.E.I., Canada to St. Vincent, Minnesota, ahead of his bride Elizabeth Clow, in 1881.<br />

I only have three tools of my great grandfather's that once were in the toolbox and the chest - a drawing knife, a small hand awl, and a combination square/mitre/ruler/level. All of them show signs of much use over many years, long ago. The wood handles on each one are polished with the sheen of hand oil, of being gripped and used, over and over. The drawing knife's blade has been hand-sharpened to a perfect edge many times over, so that it is partially worn down, yet quite usable. The hand awl's gnarled tip is still sharp, and is the best tool I've ever used to start a hole in wood, drywall, or plaster. I remember seeing an old lovely hand plane amongst my Dad's tools, that was part of my great grandfather's originally, that Dad used when he needed one. I have an awful feeling it was part of my parents' 1998 auction when they broke up housekeeping. Oh, how I wish I could go back and buy several things that day! Ah, well, I am thankful for what I do have.<br />

* - <i>O. Studley (1838-1925) was an organ and piano maker, carpenter, and mason who worked for the Smith Organ Co., and later for the Poole Piano Company of Quincy, Massachusetts. Born in 1838 in Lowell, Massachusetts, Studley is best known for creating the so-called Studley Tool Chest, a wall hanging tool chest which cunningly holds some 300 tools in a space that takes up about 40 inches by 20 inches of wall space when closed.</i>Trishymousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10448388630980259659noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399469.post-28535490640933989332016-07-13T20:52:00.001-05:002016-07-13T20:52:34.944-05:00Missed Opportunity<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Back in the fall of 1977 when I began going to school at NDSU, I was in a room at the Commons with other <a href="https://intervarsity.org/">InterVarsity Christian Fellowship</a> members when a young Arabic man came in, drawn by our singing about God. He began to discuss how he was a Muslim, and as a Muslim, he also respected and loved Jesus. He mentioned some other things and at that time, I was unable to say anything useful or loving, and I have regretted it ever since. But he left us saying as his main message, that we had more in common than we may have realized. I can see now looking back, he was trying to start a discussion, a healthy discussion, but none of us were prepared to engage in such a discussion, which is sad...Trishymousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10448388630980259659noreply@blogger.com0
