The Blue Bell Patch


 
Behind the house, there was a steep cliff that dropped off about twenty feet.  A small creek made a snake like path through the trees and emptied into the large creek where the swimming hole was.  It is here that the Blue Bells are so pretty, or is it all just in my memories?

Earline and I have almost lived along these creeks where wildflowers and ferns grew on each side of the creeks and cliffs.  Crowley’s Ridge was once the bank of the shallow ocean that once covered most of this region, or so I have been told.
