Teija: November 2014

Thursday, 27 November 2014

Rose was a sensible pig, though he was frequently in trouble. There was a rosy pink snout, that twitched every time she sniffed. The small eyes were sharp and inquisitive. The patches of coarse hair sticking out from her face tufts. There a nosy by nature, when Rose is always wanting to know what was going around her. For nearly one hundred years, the farm had been nestled on the side of the hill next to the babbling creek. It was not often that the farm was quiet. The farm was down a long, muddy track, far away from the main highway. There are 126 Tidy packed,bales of hay rested in a neat array the water tanks stood to attention like three rotunds guards, guarding the gate. Rolling hills caught the long shadows of the late afternoon sun when the sun was going down. The old barn was home - comforting, cosy and always busy with its inhabitant filled with lots of pigs always sleeping and eating. Worried concentration made the pig frown in earnest, his hooves tried to tread the water, but he can hardly stay afloat in the turquoise water, it lapped at her snout panicking was setting in as he appeared unable close the gap to land.

Skater doc

Eventually I reached the crest of the hill, and that is where I saw him first. All I could see was his face, stern in concentration causing the skater to frown. He shifted his weight, allowing for the board to rotate in mid-air. His body was silhouetted against the soft pink dusk sky.a heat haze covers the city in a steamy blanket,turning the hills to a pastel mauve when the skater come it like he is an angle because the heat haze.

Old woman

“How long have you been standing there?” I wondered as I caught the eye of the crumpled old lady. She had deep channels of time, etched in to a wizened surface.I saw an old lady wearing a rich indigo velvet ancient cape folded carefully to frame the face. I stared into the Keen eyes, of an old lady’s eye’s with alight and mischievous youth.when I saw the old lady wearing a rich indigo velvet ancient cape she had cracked lips furling around gums where teeth once stood.
