Saturday Afternoon Chat: An ER visit mixed with beautiful sunny days
The fields in front of my parents’ house were sunlit and golden. Beyond them were the green of the trees and beyond them the blue hills in the distance. White, puffy clouds drifted across a brilliant blue sky. I stood at the top of the fields and looked at it all and thought about how …
