Boatlady Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 to wait till daylight. She was always a little fearful of the strange noises that happen in the dark. She decided to settle down under the boughs of a huge pine tree. There were many in the grove just ahead. She picked some branches to lean up against the tree to form walls and a few soft ones to make a bed to lie on, then she settled in to do................
