Goddessing

Driving home at dusk from a major appliances shopping excursion, I noticed how the fireflies were active at the edges of the fields, with one exception -- the fields that are being organically farmed had fireflies buzzing all over them. Smart critters, and beautiful over the crops.

It's been delightful this growing season to see human beings out in fields. A certain giveaway that they were organic farmers. It's the first time in my 10 years in this major agricultural area that I've seen human activity in the fields. Oh, okay, sometimes you see a large piece of machinery with some human at the wheels, but never folks walking through fields, hats on to protect them from the heat, crouching over turned earth to put in seedlings and later, weeding with hoes. It's an almost anachronistic scene.
