When I moved down to the valley last summer, I thought it was going to
be permanent, but Slow River isn’t home.
This is.
I stand up straight and roll my shoulders back, stretching my stiff
muscles and enjoying the early summer sun on my face.
All around me, the mountains are waking up to the late spring. The
snow has melted away this far up, although there’s still plenty left on the
highest peaks. Everything has turned green and the wildflowers are
competing for best in show.
This is my favorite place to be any time of the year, but especially now.
I have an impulse to spin around and sing, Sound of Music style.
I pick a song I actually know and throw myself a private dance party
right here on the hillside, and when it turns out I don’t actually know the
whole song, I flop down in the grass and the flowers and laugh at myself for
being such a dork.
No wonder I can’t get a boyfriend.
Oh well, back to what I was doing.
Picking up my basket and the set of gardening tools I brought up with
me, I walk up the hill to a patch of monkey flowers and dig the trowel into
the moist soil so I can pull up enough to transplant. These are scarlet
monkey flowers, Mimulus cardinalis, bright red flowers that will bring
hummingbirds to the garden all summer.
There’s just enough room in the basket for maybe one more plant. I’d
love to add some elephants’ heads to the garden, but it’s too early for them
up this high still so I just keep wandering around, keeping my eyes open for
something that looks good.
Slow River is okay, I guess. It’s a much bigger town than the little
mountain community I grew up in. It has more restaurants to choose from,
more bars to drink at, more traffic on the roads, and more options. As in,
men.
I thought living there for a full year while I did a florist apprenticeship
with Callie would get me out of my shell. I thought I’d meet a cowboy from
one of the big cattle ranches in the valley and, well…I thought that even if I
wasn’t married by now, at least I wouldn’t still be carrying my V-card.
Seriously? Doesn’t this thing have an expiration date on it?
Obviously, neither my heart nor my virginity got claimed by a
handsome rancher.
My apprenticeship is almost up and I’m already packing my apartment.
Honestly, I can’t wait to move back up to Moonshine Ridge. I miss Mom
and Gran and– yeah, I even miss my brothers.
Raine’s mellowed out so much since he got married last year, and he and
April just found out they’re finally pregnant; Cane’s still a brooding, control
freak, but running the camp keeps him from getting too annoying; and even
gran hasn’t heard from Hayle in over a year now.
I miss my oldest brother the most, but he left the Ridge almost five
years ago and hasn’t done much to keep in touch with us.
