Re: The Peters Farm
Just on the outskirts of town, the Peters place is a small farm by anyone’s standards. Set back off the main road is a squat little house bordered by a picket fence. Both once painted white but now faded, blistered and peeling under the Texas sun.
A tidy home garden is kept near the kitchen door. In the yard there is a chicken coop, a barn and a covered well. Further out grows a field of wild flowers, mostly bluebonnets, that trails down to a creek that appears for a few weeks each spring.
