In 1960, David Latimer planted a tiny garden inside of a large glass bottle and sealed it shut. He opened the bottle 12 years later in 1972 to add some water and then sealed it for good. The self contained ecosystem has flourished for nearly 60 years.For those who are wondering how this is even possible: the garden is a perfectly balanced and self-sufficient ecosystem. The bacteria in the compost eats the dead plants and breaks down the oxygen that is released by the plants, turning it into carbon dioxide, which is needed for photosynthesis. The bottle is essentially a microcosm of earth. ... See MoreSee Less

Halloween isn’t just an American holiday it’s a Scottish & Irish tradition.One theory holds that many Halloween traditions were influenced by Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain, which are believed to have pagan roots.Some go further and suggest that Samhain may have been Christianized as All Hallow's Day, along with its eve, by the early Church.Other academics believe Halloween began solely as a Christian holiday, being the vigil of All Hallow's Day.Celebrated in Ireland and Scotland for centuries, Irish and Scottish immigrants took many Halloween customs to North America in the 19th century, and then through American influence Halloween had spread to other countries by the late 20th and early 21st century. ...

Here's an interesting tidbit that I picked up in my research today.We had a mass migration of Patton's from Mississippi to Texas in 1882, ten families in fact.In 1887 Harry James Rogers married Mary Lynn Patton (1859-1939, 1868-1941) in Bell County, and they settled for life at the Old Rock House Place in Plum Creek near Levita.Here they operated their commercial subsistence farm and raised eight children, another having died in infancy.In 1877 the Isaac Rogers family migrated by train from Panola County, Mississippi except that Harry and two brothers followed by wagon-train with household goods and farming equipment. The Pattons came there in 1882 with a colony of ten families, all from Mississippi. ... See MoreSee Less
