A little peek at what's going on at HQ right now. Currently getting ready to move on to this next phase of Edie's life, and trying to piece together a map of her grandparents' farm. I'm using Grandpa Jack's essay and actual maps of Williamstown NY to try to make it as accurate as possible. Also currently googling things such as "can you keep horses and cows in the same barn?" (Answer: yep.) The photos in the back are from a Walker Evans book. I keep it there for reference at all times. Parts of Grandpa's description I'm working with: "I remember walking barefooted up Maple Hill to hayfields on a crest that overlooked the village of Williamstown. I walked up the tarred road covered with tar bubbles from the heat popping under my feet." "I rose before the sun was up and trudged off up the hills with our collie dog Lady looking for the cows... The herd would usually be loitering in a cool place under a pine forest canopy, chewing their cuds and waiting to be herded down the hill to the barn."
