A memory of a farmhouse

The spring water poured from the side of the hill like a faucet abandoned by children called to an early dinner of their favorite dishes.

The crystal ribbon of water was achingly, gaspingly cold.

A cold so intense it almost felt like fire if you left your hands under the stinging flow for too long.

The water ran down a small incline and bubbled and burbled along a narrow waterway edged in a frill of emerald green so powerful it imprinted the intense color on to your retinas.




Watercress and water polished pebbles…



Luscious, luxuriant, verdant blades of grass and precious, blonde-haired little girls looking for treasures and arrowheads …

A memory from a farmstead in honor of the letter “G”.
