We lived on four acres. Not large by country standards but a whole universe to a child and her dog.
My Brother Making a Fort
My father worked in the city but wanted his children to have the country experience that he had growing up in a small town in east Texas. So, braving the commute, he moved us out into the “boonies” where we would have the opportunity to build forts, create mud pools, maintain an aviary, and know what it feels like to run bare foot through the field that you, a child by others standards, mowed with your John Deere tractor that morning.
My siblings and I loved tramping through the woods claiming forts and tree houses that the other gender was not allowed to cross. The girls made homes with rolls of toilet paper and transplanted cacti. The boys made watch towers with tire swings and snake skins. A paradise of wood and mud – and we loved it.

Granny Scott, as I sometimes called her, was a native Arapaho Souix Indian from the area of Lawton Oklahoma and Fort Sill. In 1876, my Grandpaw Monroe Scott purchased her. He traded 7 horses for her. She was only 13 years old at the time.
Grandmaw’s Indian name was Little Feather, but Grandpaw Monroe changed her name to Alice Watson.
He brought her by covered wagon to Chilton County in the town of Thorsby, Alabama.
