Folded corners, halted stories
So many stories remain untold… So many more unheard… Some are left in the middle… But I am glad that ours is the one, You want to come back to, And hold onto forever. I knew it, I knew it, The day you folded my corner; I knew it since then, That, one day, you…

Gemstones

“I’ll just step over to Green Gables after tea and find out from Marilla where he’s gone and why,” the worthy woman finally concluded. “He doesn’t generally go to town this time of year and he never visits; if he’d run out of turnip seed he wouldn’t dress up and take the buggy to go…
