Wordless Wednesday: Bringing in the Sheaves

Center:  Mollie and Nellie, mule team
Right:  Tim and Tom, Belgian draft team

Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,
Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve;
Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.


Admit it.  You suspected our whole week of blog posts would have an equine theme!

Yes, it is a modern day threshing.   For you city slickers, that's all about oats.   

I have a farm story to tell.  Tomorrow.

  6. So... it's not "bringing in the sleeves"??

    Kidding - I knew it was sheaves, but my sis is classic for always singing the wrong lyrics to songs!

    Great photo! Happy WW!
