Life in the Country
Rain Brings New Life to Fields,
And Renews Farmers Spirit, Too

The soft sound of rain on the
roof in the night comes almost as
a benediction after a week Of
scorching sunshine.
You are awakened by the
sound. and then you relax again,
knowing that by morning the pas
lures will have taken on the SPAR
kle of renewed growth, and that
the rows of vegetables in the
garden will seem taller by inches
than they were before the rain.
There is a thirst that is trans
|mitted from the fields to the
farmer himself during periods OF
dryness. His feeling of drought
increases with the baking of the
land, and rain seems to be alb
sorbed by the farmer along with
his fields.
When rain comes, even after
only few days Of dry weather,
there is a desire to go out OF
doors to let your skin absorb the
moisture. 1t is as though the
contact with the rain renews the
spirit as it does the grass in the
fields.

The barn swallows seem to know
when am about to clip the pas
lures and follow me down into
the field. AS I NOV, they sail
overhead. catching the insects that
are stirred up from the grass.
At first I didn't realize what
they were about. And then ]
noticed the thousands of tiny in
sects that flew up as the mower
passed along and knew that the
swallows had come in for the
feast.
There must have been so sail

graceful of birds, and I find il
