"Christmas on the Farm"

continued

I stayed till dusk revealed how dimly the fragrant kerosene lamps once lit the farmhouse. Leaving, I paused to gaze at the buildings. With ghostlike suddenness, a bonneted girl ran gleefully from the workshop to the farmhouse. I watched her pass and disappear into the gloom.

"Christmas on the Farm" is held Saturday and Sunday, December 3 & 4.
