the landscape slumbers
glittering leaves
the froth of dreams
In December
Hot In Cold
chili peppers
in the snow
intensifying their heat
Let There Be No Waste Silage Awaits
each season
requests
particulars of labor
Softly
the gentle landscape
rising and falling
showing us how
On The Farm
in August
the sky is in a hurry
while the corn takes it’s sweet time
Long Winter Days
when seemingly
nothing is happening
spring’s new world is gestating
Three Of Them
despite cold
and lack of mud
here is happiness
Morning With Cows
space and place
for each one
to low and graze
Appreciation
The butterfly, cow and flower
conferring beauty
on the day
At The Sunflower House
every size and kind
of sunflower
under the sun
Flower Farm
bees and butterflies
work the fields
beauty is the harvest
Morning At The Farm
first light caresses
the corn, flowers and barn
blessings of the new day
The Work Of Faith
grain in the silo
barn full of hay
devotions made each day
The Farm
in the cradle
of the mountains
we grow
Farmyard Blessings
the trough is full
and the pumpkin pile
is still high
A Question Worth Asking
will they take our coats
and turn them into socks and sweaters
for themselves
Afternoon With Cows
we bask
in autumn light
as time floats by
July Morning Fields
shadow and light
stretching out into
the long summer day
Honest Labor
on the land
in the elements
for the Good
Hay the Field
rites
of summer
field work and sunshine
Passageway
through darkness
into light
the journey’s substance
Avowed
house and barns
married the sky
to its homeland
Wonder of the Wallow
being one with
the great fertile earth
oh the magic of mud
Long View
a brief reprieve
this glimpse of grass
inside snow’s grasp
Sighs in the Hay
inside the barn
contentment rested
as it stormed outside
Arranged Engagement
high noon
at red barn farm
duel of light and shadow
Sweet Farm Life
winter rose
rusted red roofs
early rural valentine
Today In The Future’s House
weathering winter
barn and silo
house our future
Fall’s Finish Line
tractor race
against
the elements
Barn Roof
nestled together
hip to hip
ridge and pitch
