Evening chores, mundane moments…trudged through in habit.
Occupied thoughts amidst the sounds of hungry animals.
Staring out across the yard as the evening sun slips quietly into the night.
Ears attuned to the sounds. Dogs barking in the distance, frogs grunting, llamas humming, and that lone train whistle.
Familiar sounds.
Reminders of where she is, and who she is.
Reminders of how different her life is now.
Reminders of how life changes, people grow, lessons are learned, friends made, memories kept.
The unusually cool breeze stirs the field grass and it’s chill feels good on the skin.
The kitchen light pours through the front window and pools in the growing darkness.
She’s counting all the good things in her head, as she walks back to the house………
