Chapter 1
Early Memories
The earliest memory is of sounds. In a place of all-encompassing silence, any sound is something
to be noted and remembered. When the wind is not blowing, it is so quiet you can hear a beetle
scurrying across the ground or a fly landing on a bush. Occasionaly an airplain flies overhead-a
high-tech intrusion penetrating the agrarian peace.
When the wind blows, as it often does, there are no trees to rustle and moan. But the wind
whistles through any loose siding on the bar and causes any loose gate to bang into the fence
post. It starts the windmills moving, turning, creaking to let you know how old they are.
