Small Stones -- The Farm Edition

2012 began at Ben's family's cottage, Riverwood. Each day spent searching for a stone to cast in the River.

January 1

A constant rain falls, taking snow from the trees. 

Lingering on pine needles deep in the forest.

January 2

Sinking into the warmth of tucked in blankets.
Swept out by the tide of her prose.

January 3

Sun pours in through the kitchen window.
Just beyond these walls, a new landscape.
Elation.

January 4

Must has settled into my clothes.
It's the smell of this place,
the dust in the corners,

The wood/oil furnace rumbles below.

January 5

Together, we walk.
Trekking over rabbits' paths.
Snow, lightly falling.
