Sharon Whitehurst: On Dooryards Maury Lewis made right assumptions Click on headlines for complete essay with photo(s), link(s) By Sharon Whitehurst Maury Lewis has come up with a pretty good definition of 'dooryard' a term which natives of New England and upstate New York [my heritage] readily understand. We use it in the way that my English blog friends speak of a 'garden,' meaning the intimate and adjoining outdoor surroundings of one's house. When one lives in a rural/farm setting the dooryard is the tidy area that is kept mowed and trimmed; its where ornamental shrubs and perennials are planted as opposed to pasture or areas where outbuildings stand which are more roughly kept. Most of the photos I share on CM and on my blog are taken from my 'dooryard.' I tend to concentrate on close-ups and details rather than the larger picture, although a friend visiting from Vermont earlier this month stepped out of the car and said, "I would have known this for your place from your photos. Now I can see how it all goes together." Thank you for the words of appreciation re my essays. I enjoy sharing my thoughts and experiences. - Sharon Whitehurs Comments about: Likes Sharon Whitehurst diaries See photo from dooryard Comments re photo 49210 The Whitehurst Diaries Painted Apple Blossoms This story was posted on 2013-04-23 16:07:45
