Farm Tales Part 1

The dawn of a new day
The sun has barely risen
Dew covered grass
The clouds above pass

The smell of fresh air amidst
Surrounded by hills in the dis-tance

And so it begins

Sleeves rolled up and off we go
To dig for vegetables below
Sifting through the dirt we search
In the distance, a bird is perched
Watching us dig, and pluck, and plow
Allow me to paint this picture aloud

A picture of harvesters at work
Potatoes, pumpkins, and so many greens
An undeniably colorful scene

We laugh, converse, and continue steady
Ready for adventures of a farm fall
Accompanied by the melodies of a birds call

Seconds, and minutes, then hours pass
The sand runs out of the hourglass
We bid our farewells until next week
These are our farm stories
Well just a sneak peek
