Blogs by Joyce E Bowling Thursday Morning in the Mountains... 7/12/2007 4:55:13 AMGood morning! It's a beautiful clear morning in the mountains of Kentucky...the sky is blue, the roosters are crowing, and the birds are singing! It's a great day to be alive and well! I have found that the older I get the more I appreciate life and the simple things that life offers each of us. Yesterday while I was working in the garden a van with two young adults pulled in the driveway they appeared to be lost. I walked over and asked them if I could help them. It seems that they were two college students who were studying bats and were told that there were caves in the mountains behind our house. I told them that there wasn't caves behind our house, but I told them where there were some caves, large rocky cliffs, and dark damp areas where they might find bats in the late afternoons. They were excited and thanked me. We discussed their project for a few minutes and they were off on their way to discover and study bats. This reminded me of the many adventures that I had as a young girl growing up in the mountains of Kentucky...adventures that began by gathering up a few cousins and tromping through hills in search of adventure, adventure of any kind! We did find a small cave, of course we thought that we discovered the cave and that we were the only people that had been inside the cave, until we went in and found other people's names written on the walls. It was near an old graveyard, small, and damp. Talk about bats, yeah they were there too! We had many adventures at this cave. We would tell ghost stories, other days we swung on grapevines, took a picnic lunch, even discovered an arrow head one day! Nevertheless anytime we went to what we called Joan's Cave there was an adventure awaiting! Days such as these are nearly forgotten by the youth of today. It has become more dangerous to roam the hills than in years past. Electronic games, television, and air conditioning has also become convenient and necessities. Growing up we had one television with maybe five channels, there was no such thing as electronic video games, the games we played were Monopoly or cards and this was saved for winter nights when the cable was out or we had company. We didn't have air conditioning, only a fan in the window. But we didn't complain...we had the life of luxery to be able to play in hills, searching for buried treasures, play in the hay in the barn, and have an occasional pepsi to cool off in the shade, these also came few and far between unless you could gather enough bottles to return for a refund and exchange your bottles for a pop, which was only ten and twelve ounces then. No, we didn't complain...we appreciated life and the beauty that nature offered as well as our home and family. Well, enough of memory lane...I'm off to tutor today! Catch up on reviews this afternoon! Just a few thoughts from the mountains of Kentucky...
