Second crop of hay cut 4.6.16 and carted 6.6.16
Prevented by frailty from striding across the fields or down the hidden tracks, if there were no means of looking out over this rural landscape when I wake each morning, I should indeed be a prisoner. The tasks of the farming year roll daily by my bedroom window and I am thankful for the glass that reveals the outside world to me in all its beauty.
After the haying
all is calm and very green
in the meadows

Isn’t this nice! When frustrated, think about being shut in an appartment with a view of a wall opposite… Nothing like fields and a changing sky.

oh I used to enjoy seeing the tractors roll by in the fields by our Iowa country home. But the best was the scent of new cut hay. Country calm……thanks for the memories.

The brilliance of that green… To an eye accustomed to the Australian landscape, even a tropical one, that green has such vibrancy and lushness. The views of your restricted life are quiet, but enviable.

What a beautiful, serene moment in your day. So grateful you can feed your soul with this scene. I suspect that you and I would not fare well in an urban environment.
