The Red Garden
“Such things happened often in our town. Blackwell was deep in Berkshire County, where the weather was mysterious and the people were equally unpredictable. Several of the inhabitants were descendants of the founding settlers, families who had intermarried often enough so that many of the women had red hair, with mercurial tempers that suited their coloring. The men were tall and quiet and good at most everything. All of the dogs in town were collies, smart, fast dogs, used to herd cows and shee...p; they answered to an individual whistle as if they were birds instead of dogs and understood songs as easily as words.There were new folks in town as well, people headed out west who were stopped by the mountain on their way to Ohio or Colorado.
