This is a continuation from yesterday's post: anonymous.
After we left my neighbor's mega-garden, he asked if we wanted to go see his cabin. Another jubilant, "YES!" came from me. Again, Rusty had been up there, but me, never.
Everything I saw, my neighbor carved out with his hands, a few tools and sheer hard work. Real hard work.
There was a road sometimes carved through rock. (We live in a very rocky terrain.) He talked about breaking up rock with a hammer. I saw the hammer. I saw the busted up rock.
He milled his own wood from his own property. Beams, boards, siding... everything. Built it, maintained it. It was quite impressive.
I wondered where he would go off to...
