Big Enough For Cattle To Graze
Personal memory by Meg Arsenovic
1960 CE • Matthews, VA, USA
My 70-something neighbor Bob told me that Rigby Island used to be big enough for farmers to bring their cattle to graze. It used to connect to Haven Beach. Now it is a wisp of land that shifts easily and changes daily.
