The Sunlight Is Creeping Across The Field

The sun edges higher and the light slowly moves across the field in the distance. It’s going to be a glorious day coming up. And also coming up is the Summer Solstice with the same sun creeping up on the longest day of the year. What a time! The whole thing is glorious!

I’m giddy with sunshine after this long winter and a long wet first half of June. Rain, rain, please go away for a while at least. We will have a dry walk here in a few minutes. Catherine coming to pray the rosary as we walk. Still no news as to when church will start up again so we pray on in our own homespun way. Our world could use a few more prayers don’t you think as our deck gets reshuffled.

The TV blares as the debate goes on. We talk on, write on, think on, walk on, pray on. We are all working on this collective problem in our own way. And life tries to go on.

And half of my life these days also is involved with the sweet corn crop. The fight to get the weeds under control is where the effort is centered. The clover green mulch is establishing itself in between the rows which is hopeful. But in the rows, up close to the individual plants, needs a one time clean up to keep the competition down. That is where I am today or this week, this month.

OK, that‘s what it looks like at the moment. Time to find my boots, Catherine will be here. The sunshine need some to be out in it.

glorious day loves, Felipé.
