Old news

. . .  "For five years I raced around digging ponds, chopping trees, clearing paths, pulling rocks, unclogging channels, planting - always making lists, plans, agendas, always 'improving ' things . . .   One day, after finishing yet another important project, I made a list of all the things I had left to do . .   According to my schedule, I could begin enjoying my land twenty-five years down the line.   Something was dreadfully wrong . . . "
