  • Life as Art:Artistic Oddities

    Elissa Tracy|Aug 15, 2024

    Artistic creations often transform into strange oddities and niche art installations. One prime example is North Carolina’s Patrick Dougherty, a sapling sculptor. At seventy-seven, Dougherty merges his carpentry skills and love for nature by constructing monumental art installations using organic materials, primarily sticks of various sizes and types. By organizing and weaving sticks in a uniform direction, he has created over 300 projects worldwide, including castles, mazes, and cannon-like villages. His project, Tree Circus, crafted mainly f...

    The temperatures have been in the low sixties in the early morning for the last few days and that is good for me anyway. We still are really short on rain and yards, gardens, and pastures are really suffering. Any farmer can tell you that when it gets this dry the cattle start looking for greener grass and it is hard to keep them in the fences. Those I know which are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Kasey Baker, Colene Beasley, Linda Butler, Elizabeth Boggs, Gertie Carroll, Pam Carroll is doing well after hip...

  • One Day at a time

    Evelyn 'E.T.' Trevathan|Aug 15, 2024

    Well it is a very quiet and peaceful morning here in our little valley. It is really cool here on the front porch. We had a cool front come through and it almost feels like early Fall. There is a cool breeze blowing and this morning I almost need a blanket, now this is nice. Early in the morning like this it is quiet around here, there is not much traffic on the road. The neighbor’s cows are grazing peacefully and enjoying the dew covered grass. The cats are having their breakfast a little late today. They did not get up as early this m...

  • Tyrades! Is everyone always in your way?

    Danny Tyree|Aug 15, 2024

    Maybe I have two left feet when it comes to zigging and zagging. But it sure seems the entire world is determined to get in my way. (“Nations must reverse declining birth rates! What if we drop below 8 billion people available to antagonize Tyree?”) I am most keenly aware of the phenomenon at home. The Mills Brothers had it wrong with the song “You Always Hurt the One You Love.” Should’ve been “You Always Crowd the One You Love.” Even with a small family, it seems to require an act of Congre...

  • Life as Art:Creating Art with Confidence and Inspiration

    Elissa Tracy|Aug 8, 2024

    Creativity, like most things in life, ebbs and flows. It manifests from a medley of ideas, later transformed into reality through paint, pen, instrument, or computer. Most compelling art emerges from a refusal to accept the mundane “as is,” striving instead to reinvent and refresh the everyday. While introspection can kindle inspiration, the true spark often ignites from external sources—be it simple or extravagant. The confidence to create and maintain creativity springs from an inner drive, one typically understood only by the artist thems...

    We are having unusually high temperatures it has been even over one hundred a day or two. We still are having pop up showers around the area, but they are here and there but not widespread and don’t last long or bring much rain. Those I know which are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Kasey Baker, Colene Beasley, Linda Butler, Elizabeth Boggs, Gertie Carroll, Spencer Clark, Ricky Clayton, Nita Cottrel, Robert and Pat Dickson, Polly Edwards, Abby Gray, Ophelia Green, Betty Hasty, Melissa Henderson, Wanda H...

  • One Day at a time

    Evelyn 'E.T.' Trevathan|Aug 8, 2024

    Well it is a nice morning here in our little valley. There is a little breeze blowing and it is really comfortable here in the swing. There is not much noise this morning. I can hear a cow way off in the distance, I guess it is a mamma cow calling for her calf. I can see some of the neighbor's cows out in their pasture, they are enjoying the cool morning and grazing on the green grass. The cats have had their breakfast and they are stretched out here on the cool porch. One of the cats has decided to get up here in the swing next to me and take...

  • Tyrades! Where Were You When Nixon Resigned? "Sock It To Me?"

    Danny Tyree|Aug 8, 2024

    That awkward query by presidential candidate Richard Milhous Nixon (on the September 16, 1968 episode of “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In”) was probably haunting my mind on August 8, 1974. On the afternoon of that fateful day, I tagged along as my flea-marketeer mother purchased antiques from farm couple Gerald and Kate Killingsworth. On the Killingsworths’ TV, the usual game shows and soap operas were interrupted by newscasters speculating about the next move by one Richard M. Nixon, the law-and...

    Our Lewis County Girl Scouts have had a busy Summer of Fun so far, with a Pool Day, Movie Day, Tie-dyed Pic-Nic in the Park Day and most recently a day of fun at the Splash Pad in Spring Hill!!! They are planning a camp-trip for the 19th and 20th, weather permitting! After that, a quick and fun trip to the Fairy Tale Petting Farm to see and pet some of the many animals on the farm! The Brownies are excited to work towards completion of their Horseback Riding Badge once the weather is a little...

    JAIMEE TROUTT Q.) Can you tell me a little bit about yourself? A.) Hi, I'm Jaimee Troutt, a Library Assistant at Lewis County Public Library and Archives. I've lived in Hohenwald for 8 years, and in TN for 33 years. I'm always reading something, and am a huge Marvel fan.

I was recently diagnosed with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, so it isn't unusual to...

  • Tyrades! Do you talk with your hands?

    Danny Tyree|Jul 25, 2024

    Somewhere over the years, karma gave me the finger. It all started with an incident in Mrs. Jones’s high school English class. Classmate Tracy Holder was unconsciously performing multiple animated hand gestures as he delivered an emphatic observation. Unnoticed, I smugly imitated his gesticulations. (That was not my finest hour. The late Tracy was a cool guy, and I would definitely not give my immature younger self an “o-tay” signal for such tomfoolery.) By the time I was producing an exagg...

  • Life as Art:The Timeless Beauty of Stained-Glass Windows

    Elissa Tracy|Jul 25, 2024

    Stained-glass windows, composed of colored and painted glass pieces held together by lead strips, are an example to human creativity and craftsmanship. These vibrant works of art were particularly popular in Europe between 1150 and 1550, gracing cathedrals, churches, and even city halls. The translucent quality of stained glass made it a favored medium in religious contexts, where large windows depicting scenes from the Bible and the lives of saints animated sacred spaces with colorful, glimmering lights. The artistry involved in creating...

    Evelyn 'E.T.' Trevathan|Jul 25, 2024

    Well it is a quiet and peaceful morning here in our little valley. It is cloudy and cool but not humid, it is very comfortable. We have had a little shower of rain and there is a breeze blowing. The cats have ate their breakfast and now are relaxing, they are really enjoying this cooler weather. They do not like the hot weather during the Summer and during the wintertime you can tell that they are just dealing with the snow and cold, but come Spring or Fall then that is their kind of weather. The birds in the yard are busy at their feeders....

  • Jo Knows

    Josette Riley|Jul 25, 2024

    “Hey, Jo, Does Lewis County have a leash law for dogs?” Yes. The leash law in Tennessee for Lewis County and City mandates that pet dogs must always be under the control of the owners and are not permitted to roam freely. While dogs can be off-leash on their owner’s property, they must not wander onto someone else’s property, streets, or public areas. An exception to this rule applies when dogs are engaged in legal hunting or herding activities. The intent of the law is to protect the health and safety of the public as well as the well-be...

  • Tyrades! Are you certain you're ready for the Summer Olympics?

    Danny Tyree|Jul 18, 2024

    Just because there are trained professionals dealing with the infrastructure, logistics and marketing of the Summer Olympics, it doesn’t let the rest of us off the hook. To fulfill our obligations as world citizens, instead of just blundering into nearly three weeks of pageantry and athleticism, we should apply critical thinking to the whole phenomenon. But you’re probably way ahead of me. You’ve doubtless pondered why we don’t have Spring and Autumn Olympics. I can just imagine the former...

  • Life As Art:Impact of Photojournalism

    Elissa Tracy|Jul 18, 2024

    It’s challenging to focus on topics like art, interior design, and pop culture in light of last Saturday’s Pennsylvania political rally and the attempted assassination of former President Trump. I vividly remember the attempt on President Ronald Reagan’s life—it happened on March 30, my birthday. I remember emotions of being scared, having just returned home from school to an empty house, watching the news alone. Back then, we lacked social media, video games were less intense, and the more violent TV shows were relegated to late-night slots....

The cats have had their breakfast and are laying here on the front porch, the front porch is always cool early in the mornings. Later up in the morning they will go and find a cooler spot to nap for the rest of the day. Bob is washing the breakfast dishes and I am enjoying the front porch. There are lots of hummingbirds at their feeders. We got a good rain the day before and this morning...

  • Life As Art

    Elissa Tracy|Jul 11, 2024

    The Art of Small Space Design As urban areas grow more costly and dense, our living spaces often shrink. Even in larger homes, there’s usually a room that, awkwardly shaped or poorly utilized, becomes a mere storage space. Whether it’s furniture that’s too large or a shortage of space-saving ideas, these rooms frequently fail to serve any practical purpose. Think like a tiny home designer to maximize the functionality of these small spaces. The tiny home movement - popular for those downsizing, living off-grid, or constructing guest house...

    Well it is a nice morning here in our little valley. I am sitting on the front porch swing and there is a nice breeze blowing. It is not as hot as it has been. The cats have really been enjoying this cooler weather, they are stretched out here on the porch taking their morning nap. Later when the day starts to warm up some more they will go and find a cool place to nap until supper time. The birds are singing and I am watching the neighbor’s cows grazing out in their pasture, everyone seems to be enjoying the little cooler weather. Last week w...

    Elissa Tracy|Jul 4, 2024

    Drawing! Drawing! Drawing! From the first crayon scribbles of childhood to the finesse of adult sketches, drawing is a universal course waiting for every one of us. By grasping a pencil and exploring its angles, we begin to shape lines that evolve into the artistry of painting and beyond. Drawing is inherently mathematical; many everyday objects are composed of repetitive, evenly spaced elements. Math is problem solving, just as drawing is a tool for thought. Think of fences, ladders, door panels, and windows—each a canvas of symmetrical p...
