The Return of the Tail

Apr
15

In the beginning, there was a little lamb and her tail.

And then there came a time when that tail was banded, and after that, a time when that tail mysteriously disappeared.

The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
