The Road Through Flanders Farm by Anne Faught
A still fog lingers over the muted winter fields Wooly cows, wild turkeys working the icy stubble A seasonal spring coils through a gush of green itself a gurgling, twisting, newborn life This ribbon of rain-stained road divides the valley like the spine of a great book The wide pages to the north fanning out and swelling to the sky in soft, gray-green bellies The southern pages dense with brown stalks, yellow willow an indigo forest running towards the ridge The layered rhyme these pages hold is an invisible, softly sung song Remnants of a train moving west a century ago still rest in the frozen soil Generations of animals feeding, birds vigilant, salmon flashing upstream Families living, working, singing and dying in this clearing we have made home We are a line of cars in the quiet, daily procession windshield wipers, headlights, taillights, Early morning in years of mornings, driving in the fog through Flanders Farm.

I love the warm, safe, caring space for kids to take risks and share their growing talents year after year at the Talent Show with an audience that cheers them each step they take. I love the intentional fun-sake space for older kids in the LOFT that has an amazing and creative staff. I love the fun community events, Valley Games, and the Holiday Camps are awesome!
