Carol Perkins: Life is a circle Previous Column: Mining for future treasures By Carol Perkins High school graduations are now in the past. Unlike last year, the Class of 2021 was able to stand together, throw their caps in the air, and hug fellow classmates. Many of the connections that students formed over the years will be broken, but they don't know that yet. They promise to keep in touch, but for most, that won't happen except for an occasional spotting in a local store, a phone call now and then, or a reunion, which many won't attend. They will see each other on Facebook and Instagram, but the personal relationship won't be the same. At least, that's the way life usually works. Graduation ends the routine. The twelve (or thirteen) years of being together, walking the same hallways, being in clubs, hanging out at ball games or local gathering places, and going to class with the same people allowed for close contact and growing bonds. At a small school where most students know each other, graduation can be especially sad. In a graduating class of hundreds, this may not be the case. I have never doubted how lucky my children were to graduate from a small school.

The Whitehurst Diaries: The Man in the Garden By Sharon Whitehurst Sunday morning sunbeams slant through the green of the trees that line the ravine. As I watch, mug of half-caff in hand, the sun climbs above the barn roof, flooding the newly shorn meadow with light. My gaze lingers on the sprawl of pale peonies in the rough garden strip edging the drive, then continues up the lane. Our neighbor has planted a garden, long and narrow, bordering the lane just before it curves to plunge past the pond and then up to the road.
