add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the weather conditions in Georgia and its effects on crops and gardens, during the year 1946. According to the report rain has slowed down the planting. The author is being nostalgic about the place where he was born. He says that he was born where green scum creeps over ponds in springtime, and mocking birds sing themselves crazy on warm nights, and alligators crunch their way through swamp water, shaking waterlilies out of their slow careless paths. He still remembers the wide, curving, sweeping fields of middle Georgia, where he was born.
