The mill and the lake

The mill and the “lake”
From Don Bailey collection

Never did the water look this blue, and it was rarely, if ever, called a lake. It was referred to as the "pond," and was, on its best day, the color of chocolate. As for that belching smokestack, each morning you would have to sweep the soot off your porch, and scour it about once a week.
