It has been a long week and I admit it, I am sleepy tired. Ready for a winter nap.
My Polish grandmother always went to sleep when the sun set and got up just before it came back up. I never appreciated how short her awake time must have been in early winter and how long her up time was in midsummer.
Today, I felt like I had a week of Polish midsummer days.
I watched once again (probably for the last time this year) the farmers in the fields next to Ed’s place. Bending, always bending.

It’s that last effort before the final frost allows you to give up. It all moves at a slower pace now. There's less to pick. And there are fewer family members picking. No kids in the fields now. The shelter from the sun is neglected.

I allowed myself a five minute nap in the sheep shed at Ed’s, then asked for a ride home.
