Where are you?
Here.
No, Jacob, you
were faraway.
I was thinking...
about when I was a boy.
I miss that--
your being a boy.
What sort of
a boy were you?
I was a bad boy.
When I was little
my brothers and sisters
and I used to...
dream about a good life--
riches and fine horses
and buggies, but...
mostly...
My father used to dream
about the sea
as if it owned him.
It did.
Anna:
"And there was this storm,"
Aunt Mattie says
"and the shingles from the port
went to sea.
My hat went to sea."
What does
that mean?
"Went to sea."
Means they blew
into the sea.
"My hat went
to sea, too--
"the one
with the bird on it--
in two inches
of rain."
A real bird?
Stop it, Caleb.
Oh, Aunt Mattie
will miss that hat.
"Two inches of rain
by the glass measure."
A glass?
A glass
to measure
the rain?
What about your letter, Sarah?
Oh, just about the weather.
Painting William's boat.
Read it.
"The grass is green
"growing so tall
"that we've mowed it
many times already.
"The trees are lush.
"Autumn will
be beautiful.
"Come visit, all of you... soon.
Love, Mattie."
Beautiful sunset tonight.
Caleb, I thought
you'd gone to bed long ago.
I had something to do...
for Papa.
All right.
Upstairs. Come on.
(crickets chirping)
So?
I put the glass there.
AH.
To measure the rain
when it comes.
Thank you for that.
You're welcome.
(chickens clucking)
(hammering)
(thunder crashing)
(horses neighing in distance)
(thunder crashing)
Jacob.
Jacob.
It's just heat lightning.
Try to sleep, Sarah.
I can't without you.
Is it below the mark?
Yeah.
How much?
Almost a foot.
Caleb:
Here's the last
of it.
Sarah:
Thank you.
for the animals.
We can do that.
And watch for fires.
Yes.
I have to measure
out our own water.
We already have.
Have to use less.
Anna!
Come on!
Jacob.
Morning, Jess.
How are you?
Seen better days.
Not much work.
Gonna change
soon.
Man:
Hey, Jacob.
Caleb and I want
to walk around town.
All right. I'll be
in the store later.
Caleb:
Going to watch
the blacksmith.
And see if our bridal bed
is ready.
(car engine chugging)
(horn honking)
Ben.
Jacob.
Good morning, Mrs. Parkley.
(woman crying)
You'll be back...
sooner than
you think.
Please don't cry.
Maggie.
Their well is dry.
Caroline, what can we do?
There's nothing to do.
Joseph says
we have to pack up.
Pack up?
Where will you go?
They have family.
Mrs. Parkley:
No, no. I won't
take money, Caroline.
I won't forget.
Thank you.
Joseph says we'll come back.
But we won't.
I know it.
Well, there must be
