Today I went for a walk after class. It was probably around 8:30 PM when I took this photo, which is why living north of the 45th parallel (or close to it) in the summer is wonderful. I don't think they're planting wheat this year-- it looks like a legume with rounded leaves, I am thinking perhaps soybeans? I still don't know what kind of tree this is and I am hesitant to go to it and trample the crops, but I love how its so monolithic. Today it was 65 and sunny. I thought about farming, and farming communities. I'd say there's something really special about living in one. As my cousin Amanda once said about moving to a big city- no thanks, I like Carhartt. I'm not sure how attached I am to Carhartt, but the principle applies-- the simple pleasure of a tree in a field at sunset-- or Carhartt-- is a great plus to farming life.
