Green hills and little piggies : In the world of Michael Sowa

There is a small personal story in the first comment.

#throwbackthursday #landscape #rural #fields #spring #art #michaelsowa #photography

Photo of a green field in spring, with a patch of white snow hidden from the sun behind a small mound, bordered by the forest in the back, under a light blue sky. A plane with its white trail is in the sky. And no, there is no hidden pig in there.

Alaska Owns Dozens of Deteriorating Schools. Now It Wants Under-Resourced Districts to Take Them On.
---

Alaska’s rural school district superintendents are trying to “find the best, most optimal use of very lean resources.” Taking on the state’s unmaintained buildings, they say, will only increase their burden.

Wild apple trees

See alt text for more info

#trees #rural #wildflowers #bloomscrolling #photography

Photograph of a mature apple tree, with fresh young green leaves and covered in white flowers, alongside a paved road in the middle of other small trees, under a bright blue sky.

There are many of these apple trees in my area, in abandoned fields and along the roads. They appear to be escapees from very old orchards and they have naturalized over time. I've heard that local growers are trying to reproduce these trees, in an effort to revive ancestral varieties of apples that are well adapted to the harsh climate.

May you never forget your crazy, childhood dreams.

And may you pull them out, take a good look at them, and see if there is something about them that still tugs at your heart.

Because maybe those dreams aren't so crazy, after all.

Last colours in the meadow

Soon to be forest again

#wildflowers #bloomscrolling #flowers #meadow #rural #photography

Photograph of a meadow on the side of a small hill, showing one big spruce trees surrounded by wildflowers typical of the area: goldenrods, joe-pye weeds, cattails, various grasses, all in varying state of blooming, for a mix of greens, pinks and yellows. In the back the green forest is close, with smaller trees and bushes creeping in the meadow. The photo being taken late in the day, some sun light is still visible on top of the trees.

Don't Care Where it Goes - Felt like that looking down the railroad tracks. Past the abandoned Narrowsburg lumber yard and a pass through Barryville, New York. Freight trains, no passengers, but felt like getting on anyway.

The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services reports that it misses a 90-day deadline to approve child care licensing applications about a third of the time. In regions with severe staffing shortages, that rate can rise above 50%.

#photography #rural

Photograph of a rolling field with rows of corn cut very short the previous autumn, still a golden beige color, with a few leafless and isolated trees in the distance on the left and the brownish forest on the right. The sky is dark and threatening.

Photographie d'un champ ondulé avec des rangs de maïs coupés très court l'automne précédent, encore d'une couleur beige doré, avec quelques arbres sans feuilles et isolés au loin à gauche et la forêt du côté droit, brunâtre avec des teintes de rouges venant des premiers bourgeons. Le ciel est sombre et menaçant.

A University, a Rural Town and Their Fight to Survive Trump’s War on Higher Education
—

The administration’s research funding and DEI cuts present an existential threat to regional public universities like Southern Illinois University, the economic backbone of the conservative rural region it serves.

It was almost a competition, each sapling reaching for the sunlight so that it could grow, and grow big. In not many years, the small copse of trees would become a little forest of its own.

Regards sur les transmissions S2 Ep1 - Concordance des temps

Dans ce premier épisode, Edouard nous raconte son installation progressive en tant que maraîcher, comment il a développé et fait évoluer sa manière de produire. Il nous détaille comment le collectif a été pour lui un moteur, une source d’inspiration, jusqu’à être l’élément déclencheur d’une dynamique de transmission.

The USDA failed to follow its own guidance for a rural mortgage program, taking years to foreclose on delinquent loans.

As a result, 55 Maine borrowers racked up, on average, $110,000 in additional debt before the agency moved to take the homes.

Gray Barn

The Gray Barn out on Riggsville Road is iconic to me, as is Riggsville Road.
This structure fits into the surrounding area as well as any other farm house or out building. The acreage is large as the land is cheap.
Life is simple out here and you need to keep things basic. Good hardworking people live out here on Riggsville Road.
