Well kiss my grits!

My wife and I spent a couple of weeks on the road through North Carolina and surrounding states recently and we were privileged to get a personal tour of Barkley’s Mill on Southern Cross Farm in Weaverville, N.C.  We purchased several bags of their vintage home-ground stone grits and as we were leaving, head agriculturist … Continue reading

It’s an hour earlier, I think

Bear with me…

Saturday’s opening morning deer hunt was the quietest I’ve experienced in recent years. Saturday’s afternoon hunt was the shortest. Bear with me, I’ll make this quick as possible. Saturday morning, I didn’t see a deer. I only heard two shots in the distance. Others said they didn’t hear any. Now I know hunters in Union … Continue reading

175th Celebration!

First there was wilderness. Now there’s a party! A 175th Birthday Party. Farmerville grew out of the wilderness when in 1790, the Spanish Government gave trapper John Honeycutt a land grant which drew people from all over to settle along the banks of the Bayou D’Arbonne, Corney and DeLoutre creeks and the Ouachita River. It … Continue reading
