After her morning meetings, the keeper was determined to go back to the field and find the Blackberry Pearl, especially after she talked to T Mobile about new plans! She donned her rubber boots, took a rake and some gardening gloves this time. She looked like one of Wendell Berry's wild farmer women, raking the grass on the road side of the fence. She raked up all kinds of interesting artifacts, but as she was coming to the end of her search she spied a red metallic lump, and there was the pearl, in a ditch, a little damp, but still working, waiting to be found. Oh, there was rejoicing and cheering! And I think we get to have a little halibut tonight. She did not sell everything and buy the field though. She is back in her right mind. Or perhaps she found it again in the ditch. It started raining right after she found it.
