The next time I walk around this field, the wheat will be tall and golden, ready for harvest.
I just found out last evening that the grape grower who owns the vine parcel to our north has restored his electric fence for the season. That means that Callie and I won't be taking the path down through the woods that leads us to this wheat field. It happens every spring; the fence helps to keep deer out of the vineyard so that they don't munch on the new leaves and grape flowers. The pathway will be open again in the summer.
I love the glow you captured in the woods...it echoes the green of the field!!
ReplyDeletehow do u find out that the fence is hot??
ReplyDeleteThe photo is surreal (which means I love it). I've never understood planting wheat and doing all that work to produce four. They should just plant Breadfruit.
ReplyDeletetim, thanks!
ReplyDeletemelinda, the guy who owns it tells us. :) Also, when it's not operational, he lowers the section where the path is so that people can just walk through. If it's not lowered, chances are that the power's on.
mitch, lol!
Re: bread, or rather flour. My French teacher was explaining that American flour and French flour are very different; French flour has more flavor and better texture.
