Lush summer




I think of summer as a short season, mainly July and August with autumn being September, October and November, winter as December, January, February and some of March, and spring filling in the rest. Although autumn is my favourite season, there is something about the lushness of a Geneva summer. It was a good thing I took the summer wheat field last week, because today only stalks remain. The good part has all been taken away to be made into bread and other good things.
As for the cornfields, it is still not as high as an elephant's eye but doing its parts to feed the cows come winter. Corn for humans is still relatively new here and nothing, I repeat nothing tastes like corn that is picked in New England as the water is boiling. Add a beefsteak tomato that never hit a grocery store and it is the perfect summer.
The temperature is perfect and all the colours at this lush time of the year look like diamonds have been added. Or as the title of the blog says, lush...
