blue & gold are our school colors;
i can't see these colors combined in clothing without thinking
of every pep squad, cheerleading, and homecoming t-shirt i have ever owned
. . . that i could convey- the opening of summer - the first buds of honeysuckle- thousands of ladies-in-waiting, roadside beauties
The smell is:
dry & sweet- hay, honeysuckle, fresh manure
moist & pungent - creatures of God formerly living, and heated asphalt
The farmland is freshly tilled and waiting.
Not my favorite - I like late summer, tall blades of corn and rice rising to the skies
This Land My Body

your pictures are awesome!!! The fields remind me of home as I'm from a rice farm in NEA.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these pics and thoughts! Makes me think of home in NW Alabama...my roots are in farm dirt and the Tennessee River. You write beautifully. I'm grateful I found your blog, and I hope you're taking really good care of yourself. Be encouraged...keep healing...one day at a time! peace and blessings, Melissa
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. You have the ability to find beauty in the least likely places.
ReplyDeleteReally nice pictures. I haven't been to that part of the state much, and have only been to Dewitt once, so it was nice to get a glimpse of it.
