Hi Ariel,
Kate told me about this post a long time ago, but I hadn’t looked all the way through that. As the fifth member of the family, born in the school bus and raised in a dream land, I am so grateful that you took me on a journey back there. Everytime I’m on Bainbridge I take a walk through the field beck to find the stream. There’s a low branch of a fir tree that is especially good for riding like a horse. I was very young when I played there and the forest seems so small now. The pictures capture a memory almost better than standing there. I believe I’m to blame for the death of those three mice - I spent my senior year planting a small garden, lined with bricks on the edge of the field and had some buckets out there with me. As for the future of the properties, I have day dreams. The owners have been holding on to it as a place to retire to and farm again. So if they have the resources to hold on to it, despite the ups and downs of the housing market, we might get to watch the forest grow.
Thanks for remembering, and thanks for sharing,
Hanya

That you followed your dream is inspiring. That your sleeptime dream had nightmare qualities, but the waketime rendition was bucolic, idyllic–is so encouraging somehow.
