The Farmer Next Door
“At the edge of the road a homemade white sign with a black anvil painted on it said, “Horse Shoeing. Closed Wednesdays.”
The church service was being held at the farm of Eli Imhoff, the local blacksmith, and the generous neighbor who, along with his sons, had painted the outside of her house.
Overhead, low gray clouds scuttled northward. The overcast sky was a welcome relief from the oppressive heat of the past few days, but the clouds were hanging on to any rain they held. Hopefully, any showe...rs would remain at bay until after she was back home again.
At the other end of the long lane, Faith saw a two-story white house with a smaller dawdy haus built at a right angle from the main home. Both the grandfather house and the main house had pretty porches with white railings and wide steps. Three large birdhouses sat atop poles around the yard ringed with flower beds. Someday, her home would look like this.
Across an expanse of grass now crowded with buggies and groups of churchgoers stood a big red barn.MoreLess
