I'm really disappointed. <br /><br />Deana -- we have one of those middens!<br /><br />Tammy -- So glad that you and the critters are all okay! Thanks fpr letting me know!<br /><br />Joan, maybe hundreds of years on our 'disposable' diapers and plastic bottles will be of interest -- always assuming the human race hasn't choked on its own excess and there's anyone left to take an interest.<br /><br /> Kath -- it's really nice to live in a place where you know where your water comes from and where it goes.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-77776453260111304902011-05-26T17:20:06.013-04:002011-05-26T17:20:06.013-04:00I love your connection to your place in the world....I love your connection to your place in the world.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15620539513724126913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-80207942493426333042011-05-26T15:05:15.536-04:002011-05-26T15:05:15.536-04:00How wonderful to find such artefacts.

About two years ago I found a beautiful white spear point. It was about 5 inches long.

(My Modem got 'lightning fried'). The tornado went about an hour and half SW of us. We are all stunned. The devastation is really too much to take in. <br /><br />My Dad roamed and combed the hills, hollers and fields around here and has quite a large collection of Indian artifacts. I only got to go a couple of times when people plowed their fields (not much of that goes on anymore) and found a few things. Even now I scan the ground constantly around the place, never knowing when a small bit of history will surface.<br />TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-27316266778273315022011-05-26T10:56:36.722-04:002011-05-26T10:56:36.722-04:00There's one area on our land that I imagine mu...There's one area on our land that I imagine must have been the midden for the old farmhouse that once stood there. The land heaves in the winter, so each year we find old pieces of metal lacy with rust, and small blue medicine bottles,a bit sanded by the years, but still letting the old homesteaders say, "We were here; we were here."<br /><br />Deana the QueenaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-75827041938266915532011-05-26T10:39:59.961-04:002011-05-26T10:39:59.961-04:00How fabulous to be able to dig in your garden and ...How fabulous to be able to dig in your garden and find a Cherokee tool or some such object.

Silent witnesses are more intriguing than the direct facts, which present themselves without any disguise.<br />I prefer to walk among ancient ruins than to see the replicas of thoset same old buildings. Or better:first the ruin then the replica.Reader Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.com
