Creative Expressions

It was late October in 1865, when Darby arrived at the schoolhouse early in the morning. It was still dark and he was the first to arrive after the long walk from his family home near the ferry off River road. He walked up the steps to the front door and thought he saw something move on his left past the outhouses. He was nervous, but decided to take another look. There was a small path that leads into the woods through a wall of rocks to the right and a pile of logs on the left. As he walked onto the path he saw something scurry underneath the log pile where the 2 in 1 tree stood. He looked to the right of the two in 1 tree and saw several large rocks. Under the red rock on the ground he spied the most “creative expression” he had ever seen!

From the pile of wood, Darby walked back toward the schoolhouse and around the backside. He sat on the old stump that was surrounded by large cut logs to rest. He suddenly heard his name called and turned toward the path behind him. On the other side of the bridge he saw his teacher Miss Betty. He ran to her to and stopped just before the bridge. Miss Betty was looking in the direction of the fallen tree to his right, toward the road. She whispered to him that she had just seen the biggest frog she had ever seen! Darby was curious. He walked the length of the tree, testing his balance. When he reached the end of the tree with it’s gnarly rooted end, he shouted Right On! Miss Betty….
