"A Bucket of Dirt Clods," by Sue Ellis, Published in "Front Porch Review"

"A Bucket of Dirt Clods," by Sue Ellis, was recently reprinted by Front Porch Review. Ellis' story was first published January 13, 2011 in Poor Mojo's Almanac(k) as Rant #521. Ellis' story is an insightful bit of history of life on the rolling Palouse farmland of southeastern Washington.

Ellis delivered mail to 180 households on a 92-mile rural route at Rockford, Wash., during 1980-1989. On January, 2010, Christian Science Monitor published Ellis', "Memories of a Rural Mail Carrier."

Life on the Palouse History - A Bucket of Dirt Clods, by Sue Ellis

Although A Bucket of Dirt Clods was published as Rant #521 by Poor Mojo's Almanac(k) on January 13, 2011, this bit of  'life on the Palouse' history came to my attention today when I visited the December Internet Writing Workshop Success Blog.


A Bucket of Dirt Clods was written by Sue Ellis, who drove a 92-mile rural mail route at Rockford, Wash., during 1980-1989.
