Today I quit work early in the morning. Too nice a day to work. So I spoke
to myself. “Alan, why don’t you try to capture this day on he farm. Forget about
all your old machines. Forget about weeding. Forget about appointments.”
“Just take a walk. Make the walk into an episode..”
“Good idea, but readers like a purpose.”
“Purpose…shhhhmorpose.”
“No, they need a challenge.”
“Challenge…shhhhmallenge.”
“Let me give them just one thing to look for.””
“What?”
“See if they can find the thistles that are taking over the flax and sweet clover field.”
“Look for thistles?”
“Thistles….ssssmmistles.”
The thistles are about to disappear beneath the blade of the Bobcat bucket.
