A Prairie Boy's Summer Endless summer, cloudless blue sky, fields of golden wheat, shoulder high, wave forever. Grasshoppers, like helicopters, make a rasping sound leaping and landing everywhere. The only music to disturb the peace of the open prairie is the chorus of crickets and tree frogs. A boy and his dog, his bow and arrows, head for the horizon -- an elusive destination. Many adventures possible along the meandering way. A boarded up farm house smelling moldy and damp. Stories told by objects left behind, but, why? Had owners intended to return? What changed their minds? Are they still here?
