	Originals by Ella Gardner - Farm Woman's Life, an Artist's Eye
	
	  - Her eyes have squinted into the setting sun to stay on a row of hay and they've seen more calves born than she cares to count.
Her hands have canned pickles, carried feed pails and piled wood.
But Ella Gardner also has an artist's eye and a painter's hands--and a deep need to capture on canvas what she sees.

Country Life
	
	  - Hi, Come on in. I just finished baking & have a fresh pot of coffee. We can relax awhile & just let the world go by... 
This story is light-hearted; but has things I learned living a "Simple Lifestyle" that later on saved my life. Without finding out what was really important to me in life, and how to enjoy the simple things in life, I would not have survived!

Covered Bridges in Ohio photos
	
	  - Covered Bridges, by Ludo Wuytack. Along the scenic state route 26 from Marietta to Woodsfield, which parallels the Little Muskingum River, there are a few historic covered bridges to be found. The bridges were covered to help preserve the large flooring timbers. To replace those floorings would be more expensive than the lumber they used to cover the bridge side and roof. They were usually named for the resident who lived closest to the bridge.

No Cows to Worry About Any More
	
	  - I am not fretting about cows in the maternity barn.   I don't have to think about them night and day, whether there is a first calf heifer that is going to need assistance, whether the old cow will get milk fever and not be able to get up after calving and will need tending within a few minutes.
