Sunday 2.7.2017

Yesterday a sun-kissed evening with a strong but warm southerly wind blowing, rather, as Edward Thomas said of another occasion:

"with such peace and energy together as to call up the image of a good giant striding along
with superb gestures- like those of a sower sowing."
*

It tossed the tops of the trees about, ran through the barley, hurried the clouds across the sky

and as an added bonus swirled the scents of fresh cut grass and new growth all around us like some gigantic room freshener.

The shadows were already lengthening as we went round the woods and the light cast enhanced the magic of these long summer evenings

of which, hopefully, there are a few more to come before we feel the blast of a less friendly wind.

* In Pursuit of Spring by Edward Thomas
