  • From the North 40: It's the sounds of morning

    Pam Burke|Updated Feb 27, 2015

    I think that because my typical day starts before most people’s does, before the noise of civilization in motion, it’s the sounds of morning that captivate me most. I am used to the beloved sounds of home, which, on a Friday in February, start around 4 a.m. There's the squeak and groan of our home's old floorboards, the quiet padding of dog feet, horses nickering in anticipation of food, the cat's faint “mroww, mroww, mroww” growing steadily louder as he announces his approac...

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 27, 2015

    Every fall, across America, 18-year-olds step foot on college campuses for the first time.
