Bamboo shoot

But I did not want to shoot the elephant, even if the crowd of yellow faces were taunting me, watching my every move, wondering anxiously what is going to happen next.

At my house there is a trail that leads to a place known as The Flat Rock. It gets that name because it is a long, flat, gray stone that ends at the Uwharrie River. I have been told the stone stretches all the way to central Virginia, and yet it chose the five and a half acres of land I reside on to end. It is cool and mossy, even in the heavy heat of summer.
