Three Score and Ten [Now Thirteen

Three Score and Ten + Day 217, Memories

It must truly be spring, I got Spinach and Radishes planted today, it's a start. The planting is two weeks ahead of last year. It should be good, Rain and showers here for a few days. No real cold ahead I can see. We will be leaving for Kentucky in a week. So there will be no more planting until we return. We have every thing uncovered and cut back all that needed it. It looks like we have ignition, This Spring is a go.

Prompt, Write about your earliest memory. Try to describe it in as much detail as possible.

This is a interesting prompt I wanted to write on. it is something I have thought about at times. It is a peak into my future life. I have two instances which one is earlier I do not know. They should be about the same time frame. I would think I was three to four years of age. I do not think I was yet in school.

The first was, My mother at that time needed to go out after the cows for milking from a wood pasture about a quarter mile from the barn and at times she would take me along, me walking some and being carried some. As I remember it we were singing Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, still one of my favorite songs. It was later the first song I sang for an audience at school, First Grade. At any rate when Rudolf goes down in history I asked my mother What is history. I think that must have had a real chore to explain history to a 3 or 4 year old. I am still a history buff and I know have my definition of "What is History"

The second situation I must have been about as old and older. I remember rocking in my Great Grandfather's pressed back wood rocker. [I sure would love to have that old rocker, I think it got broken up for firewood when needed]. I rocked to the music of the radio singing away. The songs I remember and still sing are Pennies from Heaven, Mr. Sandman, and the Naughty Lady of Shady Lane. When ever I here them I time travel a long way back. They are still some of my favorite songs.
