The Meadow

Dear Journal,
Over the past few days, I have been working non-stop. Rachel and Mercy were nice enough to make me a calico dress like Judith’s. Mathew had me in the onion fields weeding, and it was then that I fell in love with the meadow. As soon and I saw it, I was mesmerized. It was a sea of green stretching into the distance, occasionally interrupted by a graceful elm tree. From that moment on, the meadow claimed me and made me their own. It was there that I met Hannah Tupper.
