May 26, 2009 – Cool, rain forecast. Plunging into children’s book. Very different style of writing. Had a painful but important week last week. Read over old Farm Journal’s. One, from  Easton, read: Thursday, May 12. Sarah died. Friday, May 13. Buried Sarah.” Reading the journal, I saw that it was the farmer’s child who had died of a sudden fever. He wrote about it in a half dozen words. And they were enough.
