In Watershed Days, the reader embarks on a wide array of adventures
shared in seasonal order over a period of two years, 2005-2007, yet
spanning in memory back to the author's youth. Infused with a blend
of ruggedness and sensitivity, the writing is ripe, wry, and
roving, ever attuned to the natural world. When the focus is not on
the immediate homestead activities of making apple butter, telling
stories to his child at bedtime, coming to terms with an aging dog,
planting fruit trees, building garden beds, stacking firewood,
butchering hogs, keeping chickens, hunting deer behind the barn,
Moeckel zooms in on his escapes to the near woods and rivers,
creeks and coasts-surfing, canoeing, fishing, even skateboarding on
the Blue Ridge Parkway. The twenty-four adventures are woven into a
subtle, cohesive whole, providing a textured portrait of a young
man, his family, and their evolving intimacy and distance with each
other and the natural world, the 18-acre homestead to which they
have just moved and started working, as well as the woods and
rivers of Virginia's Jefferson National Forest just down Arcadia
Road.
