I've been driving past this truck all spring, whenever I take H to preschool. It's a Ford F-600 and my guess would 1977. A good solid Maine farm truck. Salt tends to eat trucks around here but Delphinium looks clean and solid. Living on the end of a Maine peninsula means most of the driving is on back roads. There's been a flock of turkeys up on the Hales Hill Road all spring; H wonders if they are the same birds we used to ride our bikes past on our way to school in Texas last winter.
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."
