Eastern Nebraska beauty described by Lowell A Whitmore
A reminiscence from Lowell A Whitmore about eastern Nebraska highlights seasonal scenery from naked oaks in winter to fall color along the Blue River. He details his mother's garden with Spire hedge, climbing roses, peonies, a wygelia, and historic yard features near a front porch and kitchen garden. He recalls childhood trees, a house site, and memories tied to scent and sound of the countryside.
