“Hey! Hey!” he said again. “Can I help you? Hey! Can I help you?”
He was shouting from up by the barn.
“No,” I said. “I’m trying to get a picture of your dandelions. They caught my eye as I was driving by.”
He was quiet for a moment. “Oh.” Then, “I thought you were looking for the swimming hole. A lot of people are looking for the swinging hole.”
I never saw him. Just heard him yelling. Not unfriendly. But it reminded me of the “mushroom wars,” when farmers would attack strangers in their fields. Because they were trespassing, damaging fences, leaving hazardous (to cattle and machinery) garbage. Because they were long-haired strangers picking “magic mushrooms” in their fields.
That was a long time ago. Still, having a farmer yelling at me, it got my back up.
