Green Bounty

As I contemplated the vast green sea around me, I realized to harvest it would take at least 3 hours.  I will need to stop frequently and clean of the blades of our harvester.  You see wet grass clings to the blades and than all kinds of things go wrong with the mower.  Standing there a while and than out of nowhere this big yellow orb shoots out rays, past the fluffy white bits, through the blue ocean, the sun warms my face.  It also causes, almost immediately, a flurry of activity in that great green sea.  In that moment of aahhh, the sun, the grass of which I am contemplating grows not one inch but three.  And so once again I retreat to the house, not wanting to disturb the fascinating chain of events.  I allow the grass to grow another day, enjoying the warmth of the yellow orb, which shows up so infrequently these spring days in the great state of Oregon.
