| When
not painting we are building. This year it will be more stone walls.
Six months of winter, but no neighbors for a mile. A 30 foot commute
to the "office" but a half hour to dig it out each winter storm. The
kids want to be sure they can always live here, sledding down to catch
the carpool for school or swimming in the pond with the beavers and
leeches. We are far from the California barrios I grew up in, but
these Berkshire hills are full of their own culture. We appreciate
what we have. City and other culture hits will always be necessary
though. |
