a walk in memory woods

The journalism student sent in this fab description of a long walk she took near the commune she lived on as a young Mother Earth News back-to-the-lander:

Life and death abounded. We took photos of bleached
armadillo shell fragments, rabbit pellets, a 42-inch
diameter twin-trunk red cedar, violets, and the
carcasses of a five-point buck, a mid-40s Chevy and a
Philco freezer. The latter provided a dry spot for
the aforementioned rabbits; the only way it could
have landed in that bottomland forest was to float in.
   Vernon took this photo of fiddlehead ferns uncurling. Back to school tomorrow for me. Enjoy spring in the Ozarks.
