Bridgette Barthe’s Story:

The Cottage

        It's tucked  in the woods nowhere to be seen. The dock in the water, the fish are there, too.  Hiding and swimming until we come. The trees all around like a big net. The raspberries and blackberries ready to be picked. The water so silent in the cove, waiting for  kid's little toes. The cove is small, but seems as big as can be,  with at least five houses hugging the banks.

        Under the dock the fish wait to laugh as a girl keeps making mistakes.  She is trying to catch them without any luck.   Sleeping on the screen porch, the sun raising up.  A beach so small that used to seem so big.  All covered with toys. The dock is swinging  as a boat drives by.

         The house nearby with kids making s'mores,  as the sun drowns itself until the next day. The fireworks in the sky. The waves are high as we try to get back. Sleepy and  happy we pull into the small loveable dock and hop down.

        The sun raises up a little later it seems. The boards of the dock hotter than you, sizzling your feet as  you fish. The worms are sinking as a fish goes to get it.  A boat drives by as my sister jumps in.  The dock now moving gently in the waves.

        Then the cove is quiet. The trees full of leaves, it is hard to forget the sound of them rustling all around together.  As night comes around the fireflies twinkle, as they wink to each other without a sound.  The fire burns bright as we sing together.

         Berries all picked, the toys all gone.  The cove quiet again, as they drive away,  from the trees so full and the water so calm.  The fish swimming safely now that they are alone. Everything quiet as they look at the cove, wishing they could stay a little longer. They are the last to leave, the small little cove with some much to do. The dock not moving, the water is still.  Not knowing who's next to their little home.

        To me it is as big as big can be. My second home tucked in the woods were no one can see.  As we leave we miss it already.  Hoping to  come back next year.
