    This. Is. BEAUTIFUL.

    The poetry is gorgeous as it is, and then lines like This state of the art dairy barn designed by Wisconsin architects was a model for the dairy state just make it even more delightful. WOW. I’m in love with the mood and pacing and phrasing. I can’t honestly think of anything to critique at the moment! I just enjoyed it so much as a reader that it took me out of myself (which is what good writing is supposed to do).

    Ruthanne:
    This is a chapter from my book The Way Back, and it is a mostly true story for I grew up with this barn and this man (and I still have the badge). I hoped the story was self contained enough for this exercise. It is hard to find time to write a new story for I am blogging all the time now at http://www.susancarnes.wordpress.com . I thank you for the Follow. When you post your story, I will read and comment of course. Also, your idea of magic really resonates with me. I looked at your profile after the “Follow”.
