The natural beauty of our land endures through
mindful tending and purposeful care.
The house lot sits perched on a westward-facing rise,
gazing across the majestic sweep of the Williamstown Gap.
Around the bend, not far from us, our friends bought a lot in Brookfield.
Two friends wandered the contours of the land
inspecting their kingdom.
My expectant wife locked eyes with an expectant heifer.
Ceding ground to the noble heifer whose claim to the land is ancient.
An engineer dug four soil bore tests.
He certified the lot for a standard inground septic.
Careful maintenance and hard work reap benefits.
That fertilizer treatment greened up the hay field.
Our neighbor tends to the lot with an enduring commitment
to the health of the land. He rotates corn and hay in a thoughtful cycle
that improves the soil while shaping the beauty of the landscape.
Every seventh year, he lets the fields rest, which regenerates the soil.
