"I have said that you have just entered the great University of Life. This work of acquiring knowledge and of learning how to apply it will go on as long as you live; and while life is brief, think how vast a sum of knowledge a man might acquire in the duration of an average lifetime, if he would only learn one thing every day...."

Hardeman County Spotlight: Ames Plantation

The Ames Plantation contains over 18,000 acres of woodlands, farms, and historic buildings. Operated with grants and courses from University of Tennessee, students utilize the rich history and earth, testing soil and studying preservation. One of the local treasures of Hardeman County, the huge historic estate is shared with Fayette County. For more information about the Ames Plantation, visit their website.

Happy 2008!
As I look out the window this morning toward my view of the Catskill Mountains in New York, the snow is softly, peacefully clouding the mountain view. I live on a quiet country road surrounded by farms, haystacks, and hemlock trees, yet as beautiful and tranquil as it is, almost daily I find in this rustic view numerous mental images of home in Tennessee. I often wish I could pick up the entire landscape, snow, home, and all, and drop it in Tennessee. Yes, the countryside makes me homesick.
So on this first day of 2008, I am wishing Y'all a peaceful, wintry, gorgeous start to the New Year. Enjoy these photos from my yard in New York to yours in that equally beautiful place called Hardeman County, Tennessee! And let us all remember this window to the world called the LIBRARY, and make 2008 the year we all join together to support the Bolivar-Hardeman County Library system!
