With only Butterflies to brood
And Bees to entertain --
…
And stir all day to pretty Tunes”
A hectic day: chickens running all around, sheep breaking fences and getting where they are not supposed to, dogs barking left right and centre, late to pack the truck, driver waiting, and then I turn around: the tallest grass of Summer, which ‘stirs all day’, just swinging in the wind, hiding the bees, the butterflies, and occasionally hiding a few chickens too...
We all wish we were grass today!
