now on the road in a well-built little wagon, loaded with gear, pulled by a cooperative imported mare 5 years Dwight’s junior.

in the slow and cool of the August night, Dwight knows the familiar way we wind through the hills.
harvesting all that is ripe, and some that is green, in the garden; putting the bushel in the carriage.
cleaning out the old carriage, wondering how much weight ol’ Dwight can pull over the mountains. and will this be his last ride?

rode Dwight over the west ridge, returned with new gardening tools and sheers.

slipped into the east by night, now night descends again, as I drive home the bounty of an unexpectedly successful cattle raid.

living off the fat (and farts) of the highlands @TulCreggan. (it’s better than that sounds.)

provisions running low. riding Dwight over the ridge, hoping to barter for a few essentials.

once again, ol’ Dwight grazes on the bottomland @TulCreggan. and deer are coming down from the hill for fallen apples.
