For those who watched my newest Public Television
documentary, “The Land,” a big thank you.
The show aired last Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m., and again on
Saturday evening at 7:00 p.m. If you missed
it, it will air once more on Monday, December 7 at 7:00 p.m. And for those of you beyond the reach of
Wisconsin Public TV’s several stations, you can see the program on line by
going to this link: http://video.wpt.org/video/2365600489/.
Several people who have watched the show asked where they
can purchase DVDs and my books. I have
made special arrangements with the Patterson Memorial Library in my home town
of Wild Rose to sell DVDs and books as a fundraiser for them. Check the details at the bottom of this blog. The TV show is based on my new book “Whispers
and Shadows.”
I was privileged to work with my grandsons, Josh and Ben
Horman, on the show—they are a lot better looking than their old gray-haired
grandpa. What fun it was to get the
younger generation’s perspective.
In these hurry-up and troubled times, the message of “The
Land” is to slow down, turn off your cell phone and take a walk in the woods,
at a nearby park, anywhere away from the hustle and bustle--and follow the
advice of my father who said: “Listen for the whispers and look in the shadows.”
Oh, don’t forget to take along your children and
grandchildren—you’ll all gain from the experience.
THE OLD TIMER SAYS: Slow down. Listen to the land. It has a powerful message.

Absolutely loved the show Jerry!
An old rural saying: "The best fertilizer is the footsteps of the farmer". In other words, hop off the motorized vehicle and observe nature around you.
Beautiful show. We live on 1.5 acres in northern Wisconsin. We've only been here a year but love walking through our woods; getting to know it.
