Fields, some neatly squared with agricultural purpose and others left to the wilder growth of meadow, stretch out towards the gentle curves of the terrain. The Duck River, a quiet presence, threads its way through the broader valley, its waters reflecting the sky in a shifting, mercurial light, a constant, low murmur in the background of Delano's days. The houses, often painted in muted tones that echo the surrounding woodlands, are scattered with a comfortable distance, giving the impression of a place that breathes easy.
