Brighter Future
Farm life has resumed for some, surrounded by abandoned homesteads, near the “Plitvice Lakes Incident”, which ignited the Homeland War for Croatian independence. Across the street from our hypermodern hotel, just after our breakfast, as a peasant* hauls firewood, presumably for the benefit of the child who will use the swing later in the day. Looking forward to a time when surplus wealth can renovate the gutted structure in the background.
*not pejorative; my Iowan coal-mining ancestors were also tied to the land, and arguably of lower status.
