“Where I’m From”<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Marty Coffin Evans \u00a9 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m from snow covered fields<\/p>\n

Viewed from my back window ledge<\/p>\n

Watching as the silent farm lands<\/p>\n

Stretch for miles beyond my sight.<\/p>\n

Riding through small towns<\/p>\n

Christmas lights twinkle<\/p>\n

Adorning silent town squares<\/p>\n

All add to the anticipation of seeing<\/p>\n

Grandma June in Bloomingdale, Indiana.<\/p>\n

Christmas joy and laughter shared with<\/p>\n

Cousins Anne and Chuck, Aunt Lucile and Uncle Jay.<\/p>\n

Playing \u201cPit\u201d evokes shouts of \u201cOats\u201d and \u201cRye\u201d<\/p>\n

Driving our grandmother to her bedroom<\/p>\n

Seeking silence until our bedlam subsides.<\/p>\n

Summer visits to Lake Webster<\/p>\n

Paddle boating, lunch or dinner on the pontoon<\/p>\n

Juicy ripe tomatoes and fresh corn on the cob<\/p>\n

Add to the delight of Aunt Lucile\u2019s Persimmon Pudding.<\/p>\n

Turkey Run State Park with trails and suspension bridges<\/p>\n

Bring laughter and delight to children and adults<\/p>\n

Covered Bridges span streams throughout Parke County<\/p>\n

Fried mushrooms consumed in the Inn<\/p>\n

Welcome our visits to the Hoosier state<\/p>\n

Visiting cousin\u2019s Levi and Catharine Coffin\u2019s home<\/p>\n

Transports us to days gone by<\/p>\n

Hidden buckboard and bedroom compartments<\/p>\n

Educate about their Underground Railroad Station.<\/p>\n

Memories wrapped in ribbon from childhood days<\/p>\n

Remain unbroken across the years<\/p>\n

Capturing the joys and experiences shared with family<\/p>\n

Always treasured from my second home – Indiana.<\/p>\n
