Sandra S. Navarro reminisces about the life her parents, sister and she experienced in the early 1960s when they moved from a modern apartment building in a Maryland suburb to a nineteenth-century farm house in the countryside. The first four seasons of the family’s residence along rural Mullinix Mill Road come alive through the storytelling of fictional character, Grandma. Grandma fascinates her grandchild Patricia with stories about playing among hay bales in an enormous red barn, escaping injury from a frightened bull, making pear butter from fruit of trees growing in the yard, riding the rural school bus with other country children, investigating an overgrown old cemetery, and looking for prehistoric arrowheads in nearby plowed fields.
