  2. The Murder of Edgar Allen Poe

    Firstr, in honor of Halloween, I suggest reading Phantasmagoria, Tales of the Dead, the book that Shelley, Woolstonecraft, Byron, Polidori and friends read that fateful night in Villa Diodati helped spawn "Frankenstein".

  5. I ordered some trees

    I’ve been really excited about this all year. Tonight I finally ordered my trees. A lot of these were free with the order. I had two peach trees on my wish list, but they can’t ship them to Arkansas. I have an area for my fruit and nut trees that will have full sun exposure and be far enough away from the fields that animals won’t be able to eat them.
