Skywatch Friday
28.08.08
Up the lane, this morning.
As I sit here, approaching 7.30pm on Thursday evening the air is filled with the sound of tractors and farm machinery as the farmers make the most of today's good weather and continue with the harvesting of the crops.
Last night we could hear the farmers working well beyond midnight. I think it was about 3am when the machinery finally fell silent.
Walking up the lane today the bales were in the sunshine. Yesterday the field was full of crops, uncut and awaiting the dawn of machinery.
Lord, what have we done to our land and to those who work the fields?
We have taken without giving back without thought to the consequences.
Tearing up,tearing down,uprooting life,and covering everything with a hard, unforgiving substance.
You gave us this earth to watch over to look after.
Forgive us Lord for what we have done.
Our ways bring death to the land.
We have been so concerned with our desires,that we have dismissed the needs of others.
In our lust for faster bigger, better(?)we have lost sight of those who helped
make our country what it is today - the farmers.
Help us to remember as we go about our daily chores and preparing meals,
that without the farmers we would not eat.
Without the trees,we would not breathe,
and the soil would erode,causing dust all around.
Grant to the farmers strength to continue,rain and sun for their crops,
faith in You and in humanity,that they may keep on providing the food we need
to survive.
God bless the farmers.

Keeping the farming theme alive - excellent.
The sound of the countryside - well worth a sleepness night just to view the spectacle!!

I hope everyone enlarges this photo--it is fabulous.
Lovely photo and text, Mrs. Nesbitt, and thanks for sharing Fran Watson's poem. We need to be reminded from time to time.
This is a gorgeous shot of the sky and fields!
I enjoyed scrolling down and seeing the other photos you have as well.
Love the country life.
Lovely gentle photo. I thank you for the blessing, we really need it. We're in ou fifth year of drought.
Lovely photo. I agree with the blessing of farmers, but I would as I'm married to one!
Beautiful photo and I also like the poem!
Lovely pastoral scene even made more beautiful by the cloudscape.
A really delightful picture.
A really beautiful picture! Beautiful colours! I agree with the farmers theme!
Thanks for coming to my blog. I LOVE the mountains, it is always thrilling!
Have a nice weekend!
What a beautiful view, thank you :-)
wonderful picture!
wonderful picture!
Beautiful photo at the end of a day. Enjoyed seeing the bales of hay! Nice picture!!
Excellent contrasts in those colours! I love this shot. You often state through one shot what it takes me a few to state the same (I can never decide "which one?"! lol)
*Off topic* -
[Sorry didn't get to ABC this week - real life caught up and skywatch was scheduled. Getting back on track now.]
Beautiful sky!
Oh how very true. Makes me wonder how many people in this day in age think the produce just magically arrives at the supermarket each day.
Beautifully framed photo. The colors are also wonderful, and of course, the sky.
What a lovely poem, and a beautiful skywatch photo!
Blessings on them indeed. I love your photo, especially the way the ground divides among the colors of road, grass, and field.
Beautiful, beautiful, Denise!
Denise
Lovely landscape your post today!

Who said the country was quiet, we also have the hum of machinery, the apple crop is just starting to be harvested
Hope the blessing also cover the fish farmers
This must be rural heaven! Especially loved the lines of perspective drawing the eyes across the pic!
god bless the farmers indeed
Excellent post Denise...
I'm not one for preying but if I did I think this is certainly the kind I would do... your picture is a beauty.. I hope the weather holds for them all. Thank you for your kind comment yesterday about Wiggers World' closing... it meant a lot..
Another pretty shot. :) Thanks for sharing a view of your world.
A beautiful prayer - thank you!
Hmmm what a pretty sky out there.
Mine is here
Hi Denise!
It's very beautiful!
the sky blue suits the brown color, white and green.
I think it is our earth:)
Hello Mrs. Nesbitt! I feel like I know you from all your posts to Bob T. Bear. So, just for fun, I have tagged you if you decide to play along! The rules are on my blog :)
Now I need to read more of your blog posts... Beautiful pictures and poetry.
very cool skywatch post. Hard workers indeed!
Looks like beautiful skies for the farmers.
Just idyllic

A lovely photo of the English countryside, and a great SkyWatch photo. The poem was very thought provoking too. Enjoyed your post very much.
How great to have official Flamborough Spotters!!! I have to say the internet has really brought Flamborough closer to me. I had an e mail yesterday from someone who was born in the village and worked on the golf course where we used to live. He now lives in Spain selling memberships to a hotel/golf club resort!
Have a great weekend, with hopefully some good weather.
And I say AMEN to your farmer's poem. Apparently in the 1800's there was quite a division among Flamborians between the farmers and the fishermen.
Beautiful shots. Great Nature.
If you ate today, thank a Farmer!
Great photos and love the theme. I love the farmers and all the give us. Thank You.
So very busy here too! Tractors and bumping trailers bouncing down the lane. Grain littering the sides of the roads, where the birds are having a feast. Swallows gathering, swooping and feasting on insects ready for their long flight home!
Autumn is creeping upon us!
I love the photo. The farmers sure do work hard!
One of my favorite posts ever! This is truly special to me. I love it.
thank you for your tribute to farmers sometimes taken for grnted hard workers sk
Farming isn't an easy life. We depend on the sun, rain and many other things out of our control but we love it! It's addictive. Thanks for the prayer!
