A Harrowing Harvest

  These tines, thresher’s sledge gouging flesh, tearing chaff from stalk in one smooth strike. Plundering periphery has its benefits; as empty hulls fall to the earth, seeds awake to freshly ploughed soil.

    All that snow looks harrowing, indeed!

      Weird, what a wind and the presence of some frozen H2O can do. If we just have eyes to see and appreciate it, there is beauty even here!

    A marvelous thought (looking forward to the thawing of the soil … might be a while … but eventually … right???)

      It’s coming! We know this to be true – and so we wait.

      1. Heidi Viars

        and wait … and wait … and blog 🙂
