Tractor day today.
The edges done
and the third closest to the trees,
that screen the Meadow
from the Road.

At the edge by the path
there was mostly Ground Elder
at the turn from flower to seed
- but also the first few flowers
of the French Hardhead (slightly late)

If harvesting continues tomorrow
it will reach the Melilot
- two small tufts in the S-weed domain

small pleasures, small sorrows

Haymaking in the Meadow, Göteborg, July 19th, 2001

I had the Golden Melilot as Common Melilot
not expecting Golden things to come visit here on my commonplace turf.
