Upper Hammonds Plains

Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or plains:

    If the upper beams are not straight, the lower beams will be crooked.

    The Plains are not forgiving. Anything that is shallow—the easy optimism of a homesteader; the false hope that denies geography, climate, history; the tree whose roots don’t reach ground water—will dry up and blow away.
    Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)
