Pull up the gravel drive and look for the faded wooden sign that says “DaCy Meadow.” The air here carries a green, sharp scent — soil warmed by sun, clover and newly cut stems. Rows of zinnias and peonies lean toward the morning light; bees dart like small, purposeful boats. Children move between beds with jars in hand while a goat lifts its head to observe.
