WORD OF THE DAY
Campestral • \camp-PEST-trull\ • Adjective - Of or relating
to fields or open country: rural.
After forty years away from the windswept grasslands of
northeast Montana, the family matriarch stood among the campestral glory of her
ancestral homestead, her face aglow with the dewy freshness of a teen-aged farm
girl. She had always felt fenced in in her new home among the towering, deep
green forests of western Washington. But she knew deep down that the whispering
winds through the pasture grass of the prairie always spoke to her heart.
