Description

View of the farmhouse with vegetation surrounding the structure and interior visible through the windows.

The farmhouse was the main character of Greenfield Farm. It pulled me up the walkway like a fish to a shiny lure. Trees seemed to push against the structure from all directions. That compression created a tension that I felt as walked onto the porch, passing an old dress shoe that had been there for years. I would sometimes ease inside though the front door or a window to explore and wonder why William Faulkner never boarded there when staying at the farm. He spent his time thirty yards or so up the walkway in what he called the “hunting lodge,” which burned to the ground around 1992.
