The land here is a gentle undulation, a quilt stitched with fields of wheat and sorghum, their stalks rustling secrets in the breeze. Occasional clusters of mesquite trees punctuate the open spaces, their thorny branches reaching like gnarled fingers toward the sun, while the distant horizon often shimmers with the heat of the day, softening the edges of the world. The air itself, especially in the late afternoon, carries a dry, sweet scent, a subtle perfume of sun-baked earth and wild grasses, a scent that seems to cling to everything, a constant reminder of the open country.
