My Parents Sold Our Farm to a Developer at the 4th of July PICNIC — Then I Walked to the Old Oak... 📖 STORY SUMMARY Margo Thiel has counted birds for the State of Wisconsin for twenty-four years, standing at the same spots at the same hour every spring and writing down every single one. She learned it on the ridge above her family's dairy farm, sitting in the wet grass with her grandfather's old Army binoculars. For twenty-four years her father has had one easy line for her in front of everyone: she just counts birds. Then, at the family's Fourth of July picnic, in front of a hundred and twenty people, he climbs onto the hay wagon with a flag and announces he has sold all three hundred and twenty acres to a developer. Sixty houses on the ridge. Margo's little cabin will be bulldozed. Her aunt laughs so hard she has to sit down. Margo doesn't argue. She sets down the tongs, walks all the way down the hill to the old bur oak by the creek, and ties one strip of orange tape around its trunk. Why did she mark that tree? What did a woman in hiking boots read out loud six weeks later, under a white tent full of buyers, that made her father drop his coffee cup? And what had her grandfather carved where nobody could see it? Questions like these make this one of the family drama stories our viewers ask for most.
