Elkhorn Creek by Gene Burch Frankfort KY - Elkhorn Creek - Gene Burch

This picture was taken by Gene Burch, Kentucky Author and Photographer.

I met Gene Burch one evening beside the creek as he was visiting friends next to a home I have listed on #7 Justice Lane in Frankfort KY.

The home has this creek in the backyard. Imagine waking up to the sound of Elkhorn Creek each morning. It's a one of a kind property.

As I was leaving, he presented me with a beautiful coffee table book, A Photographic Journey, full of his beautiful photography.

You never know who you will meet while you are out and about going through your daily life. People you are supposed to meet for some reason.

It was very kind of Gene Burch to let me showcase some of his beautiful Kentucky pictures that include Frankfort KY and Elkhorn Creek. I hope to post more soon.

Basic Rules For Clotheslines:

You have to be a certain age to appreciate this. I can hear my mother now....

THE BASIC RULES FOR CLOTHESLINES: (if you don't know what clotheslines are, better skip this)

1. You had to wash the clothes line before hanging any clothes-walk the entire lengths of each line with
a damp cloth around the lines.

2. You had to hang the clothes in a certain order, and always hang "whites" with "whites," and hang

them first.

3. You never hung a shirt by the shoulders - always by the tail. What would the neighbors think?

4. Wash day on a Monday. Never hang clothes on the weekend, or Sunday, for Heaven's sake!

5. Hang the sheets and towels on the outside lines so you could hide your "unmentionables" in the

middle (perverts & busybodies, y'know!)

6. It didn't matter if it was sub zero weather. Clothes would "freeze-dry."

7. Always gather the clothes pins when taking down dry clothes! Pins left on the lines were "tacky!"

8. If you were efficient, you would line the clothes up so that each item did not need two clothes pins, but
shared one of the clothes pins with the next washed item.

9. Clothes off of the line before dinner time, neatly folded in the clothes basket, and ready to be ironed.

10. IRONED? Well, that's a whole other subject!

A POEM
A clothesline was a news forecast
To neighbors passing by,
There were no secrets you could keep
When clothes were hung to dry.

It also was a friendly link
For neighbors always knew
If company had stopped on by
To spend a night or two.

For then you'd see the "fancy sheets"
And towels upon the line;
You'd see the "company table cloths"
With intricate designs.

The line announced a baby's birth
From folks who lived inside -
As brand new infant clothes were hung,
So carefully with pride!

The ages of the children

Could so readily be known;
By watching how the sizes changed,
You'd know how much they'd grown!

It also told when illness struck,
As extra sheets were hung;
Then nightclothes, and a bathrobe, too,
Haphazardly were strung.

It also said, "Gone on vacation now"
When lines hung limp and bare.
It told, "We're back!" when full lines sagged;
With not an inch to spare!

New folks in town were scorned upon
If wash was dingy and gray,
As neighbors carefully raised their brows,
And looked the other way.

But clotheslines now are of the past,
For dryers make work much less.
Now what goes on inside a home;
Is anybody's guess!

I really miss that way of life,
It was a friendly sign
When neighbors knew each other best;
By what hung on the line.

Why, Why, Why!

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are almost
dead?

________________________________

Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they already know there
is not enough money?

________________________________

Why does someone
believe you when you say there are four billion stars; but have to check when
you say the paint is still wet?

________________________________

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

________________________________

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a
revolver at him?
________________________________

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

________________________________

Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?
________________________________

If people evolved from apes,
why are there still apes?

________________________________

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always
white?

________________________________

Is there ever a day that mattresses
are not on sale?

________________________________

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something
new to eat will have materialized?

________________________________

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum
cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the
vacuum one more chance?
________________________________

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
________________________________

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
________________________________

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart
then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, 'It's all right?' Well, it isn't
all right, so why don't we say, 'That really hurt, why don't you watch where
you're going?'

_______________________________

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the
table you always manage to knock something else over?
________________________________

In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we
complained about the heat?

_______________________________

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

_______________________________

And my FAVORITE......
The statistics on sanity is that one out of every four persons is suffering from
some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're
okay, then it's you.
