Sight Unseen

Cranberry sash and a coat of white paint. Roaming somewhere nearby is a rooster and two chickens that broke out of the henhouse. They make their rounds, but never stray from the farm. Litters of farm cats patrol the acreage: fields, the barn, tractor shed, pretty much everywhere. Yet, all of these animals and all of the rest co-exist in harmony with one another. This tranquil tract of land is on my shortlist of places that come as close to utopia as I’ve ever known.
