Ten years ago, I couldn’t have said what harvest felt like. I assumed harvest was just an activity, a part of farming—just something farmers did—not a feeling or a way of life.
I was there with you in your kitchen and outside, and again in the field and the cab. This is beautiful writing and so engaging--you make the harvest more tangible for everyone.❤️
Beautiful, Stacy! I love all the descriptions and learning the reality of agricultural life. The question you ask yourself is one I ask too, though in a very different setting.
From a farm wife whose farmer just finished corn and bean harvest, you absolutely nailed it on this. Harvest is excitement, struggle, loneliness, and so many other feelings all rolled together. This was beautiful, and so relatable!
WOW. Stacy, this is a masterclass in creating a scene from your setting. I remember reading parts of this (and they've stuck with me), but what you've done here is a gift in its entirety. Well done!
I really love your vulnerability here, and how you allow the reader in. Beautiful. ❤️
Thanks, Laura. That means a lot. xo
Stunning!
