In the Fields

A Touch Of Green

A tinge of green in the brown field.The hay fields that were harvested and turned into pastures finally have a tinge of green.
Since theĀ  harvest, the hot and dry summer scorched the grass, it was brittle and brown with little nutrients.
Over the last week we have had a few showers and nearly an inch of rain. That was enough to start the grass growing again. It is a welcome sight to see a touch of green return to the pastures.
PS There is nothing wrong with the calf in the photo. It looks like he is leaning into gale-force wind but he had just stood up from a rest and needed to do a little stretching before walking across the field to join the rest of the herd.
