Lost in the Woods

Last night Heather found out that a man who used to live at this farm for many years walked into the woods for his daily walk five days ago and didn't come back out. We will not be leaving the farm today. We are holding down the fort and Heather has already gone to join the search party - Bill lives only twelve miles from here and Heather knows these woods very well.

Mark and I will take care of the animals today, and I think we will go take a peek at the cabin Bill lived in when he was a farm-hand here at Porcupine Hill, to see if anything has been disturbed.

We will delay our departure for a day or two and hope that Bill is found. This will not throw us off our schedule since we luckily don't ever have a firm traveling schedule. We had planned to go slightly south after leaving the Berkshires to see what Rhode Island looks like, but maybe we will scrap that now. Is Rhode Island really that exciting? I'm guessing no. No big loss in our books.

I am sending hopeful thoughts out to this community and to Bill of the Berkshires! I will keep the rest of you updated as best as I can.
