Parcel

Out on the farm, the corners of parcels are marked with big iron stakes into the ground. I know just where one is because it's in the road in front of Mom and Uncle John's house. Now, I remember being out here in years past, with Melanie, and looking all over for that marker when things were bad for me, and wasn't able to find it at all. Now, Casey and I just went for a walk to pound in some fertilizer around the trees in the yard, and I went right to it, and pointed out to Casey exactly where it was. I remember not being able to find it vividly, but now I can.
