For a long time I've wanted to do a summer evening hike up on Wolf Hill. A few weeks back, I did such a hike and it was nice although maybe not quite as wonderful as I had in my imagination.

The Bog River Falls is not a mighty drop, but it's a popular place for people, myself included, to stop for lunch and take in the scenery. On a hot day, it's probably also a nice place to cool off.

A year has come and gone since we heard the news 'bout Billie Joe
And brother married Becky Thompson; they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus goin' 'round; Papa caught it, and he died last spring
And now Mama doesn't seem to want to do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
