In the Spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours. ~Mark Twain We had a teasing day of spring/summer this week. Temperature zoomed up to 78 degrees. Then it plummeted. Here it is April and not even April 1 so we can think it’s an April Fools’ joke and snow is in the forecast. Snow. 3 …
If you are on my newsletter list, you know I finally got around to sending out some news. No big news. No book sales although I have noticed lowered prices on a few of my books on Amazon and perhaps other online booksellers. So with nothing much going on except spring dragging its feet about showing up here in Kentucky …
“No winter lasts forever. No spring skips its turn.” On Tuesday, Spring officially gets here per the calendar. After the record breaking warmth we had in February for a week or so, spring let winter take over again. I knew we’d have to pay for that early warmth. We always do. Mother Nature keeps a record, but I didn’t think …
Music comes from an icicle as it melts, to live again as spring water. ~Henry Williamson Spring officially arrives in five days. Usually here in Kentucky we are enjoying spring like weather a week or two before the calendar declares it so. But this year we had those one or two weeks in February. Very unseasonable warmth with May and June …
April 20, 1966 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky. I like April. Do you like April? You can count how much more there is of school by weeks instead of months.

Are you ready for flowers? I hope you’re ready for a new flower to guess. Or to name if you don’t know the …
Spring is Here Hey, did you notice? It’s SPRING! The calendar says so. Now if some of us can get Mother Nature to go along with the calendar, we’ll be happy. Here things are beginning to look and sound like spring. The spring peepers are in full voice at night and in the morning, the birds are singing their spring …
March 16, 1966 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky. It’s four days until the calendar says spring. Then it will be a while longer before I’ll see any new dogwood blooms, but I can think about them coming. And all the other flowers too. Back when Mama Mae was still living, she would be out in the yard as …
March is usually a headed toward Spring month here in Kentucky. Flowers begin to appear. There are days with a generous dose of warm sunshine to soak into your skin after the winter cold. The normal temperature for a Kentucky day in early March is in the 50s. Sometimes we’re treated to much warmer. And sometimes we’re slammed with much …
“No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.” (Hal Borland) “Winter lingered so long in the lap of Spring that it occasioned a great deal of talk.” (Bill Nye) I’m wishing I could spot some little spring beauty flowers like those above, but not yet this year. Those little blooms are still sleeping under the snow that has stuck …
