7 3/8ths acres along Rock Springs Church Rd., on the border of Hart and Barren Counties in West-Central Kentucky, between the hamlets of Horse Cave and Cave City. Clover and fescue; two acres of woods, predominantly maple and oak with generously interspersed redbud. Hands sweat, fingernails unreliable, premonitions of arthritis arise not infrequently. These are, for the time being, very home recordings.
