Fence Posts

For the longest time I had the gnawing feeling that something was happening somewhere and I didn’t know about it.

I was hoeing the garden when Dillinger suddenly came around the henhouse, trotting along like he was on his way to the bank. He was sunburned and covered with dirt.

The men in your family remind me of a dog I once had. He was very good at letting you know what might happen.

I bought my own farm, married a farm girl from the next township, and settled down to a view of Georgian Bay and the life of a hunter-gatherer, or “freelancer,” to use the ancient Ojibway term.
