Hurray! Youngest child returns from summer camp, tanned and happy — but slightly different, altered, a little older and knowing she’s older without an edgy kind of teenagerness….. She’s grown, simple as that. In the Vermont woods and on a lake, without her family around.
On the way home, her older sister wades into a field of wildflowers.
Weaving back and forth
Through the lines of wheat
A butterfly
