Machine shed 

In this place: Fray's Mountain Road, Albemarle County, Virginia 
Part three -  see part one, part two of this series

The snow is melting and running off the shed roof in a steady stream. After weeks of bitter cold, forty degrees seems almost like spring.

Summer foliage will hide the barn from the road, but now, winter vines and thorn bushes screen the view like a lace curtain. The sky is full of clouds the color of dirty snow, and here and there the sun breaks through, and just a touch of blue. No one is about. The surrounding fields are empty.

It is Saturday afternoon; the chores are all done and everything is quiet. Linger a while before the winter night.
