In swirling Dirndl
The Land now dressed
Rolled wrapped and pressed
In Aran knit
And Fair Isle stitch

I especially like the patterns in the paddock where the hay is raked into windrows for baling. It does look a lot like an old knitted jumper.

Thanks Suchled. There are a lot of old knitted jumpers round here! Only the odd field not ‘done’ By the way I am signed up to your ‘new’ blog…and. hoping all the links you have for all of them get ‘to AND from’ your gravatar XX.

I really enjoyed these photos and poem a lot, Gill. You captured the season well, from the baling, to the cutting lines, the sun colors, and the crows going in for the fresh cut seeds. Lovely. 😀

Enchanting poem, Gill, and your pictures remind me of the decade we had a 3-acre field, cut and baled late summer for its sweet-smelling organic hay; we gave it to neighbours for their livestock — horses, cattle and, latterly, sheep — particularly welcome on the Preselis during inclement winters.
Now we’re content to see it happen in the Usk valley outside town, though we do miss the scent of new-mown hay from ‘our’ field.

Thanks so much Chris for your appreciation…… and the lovely story of your once upon a time field.I already have the vision of your surroundings covered in a beautiful blanket of snow, but I am so pleased that your move to new surroundings sounds equally lovely! 🙂
