A Paper Parcel
Bright yellow daffodils brushed against the house in the wind. I could smell the sweet and subtle aroma, mixing with the dozens of other flowers in the garden, my garden. I had a lot of time on my hands as a widow, plenty of plants to be potted. The rest of the yard was sectioned off for various fruits and vegetables. The tomatoes were coming in lovely, plump and red. My tea was still hot and steaming and I dropped a couple sugar cubes in with a plop. The tinking teaspoon swirled around, spreading the sweetness. The first sip was always the most perfect, before it all settled. Everything was perfect, really. Only it didn’t feel that way, something was missing. I couldn’t put my finger on it for the longest until that day the world came crashing down on me.

The Yeske Farm
The Yeske Family Farm sat on a beautiful piece of land. Rolling hills, tumbling valleys, running rivers, and tall, strong, and very old trees were but a few of the landscape's numerous attractive qualities. It was as beautiful and picture perfect as an old American painting. Sitting in the squat center of the area's inspiring view was a run down, beat up, barely-holding-on barn and an equally lackluster house with a broken picket fence. The date was October 29, 1929, the day a young girl will never forget.
