Soybeans II

Continuing with yesterday's theme of soybeans, which are prospering in Mathews right now, here are some more shots taken just last evening from Williams Wharf Road.

I went down there for a plod jog after work since the Chesapeake Bay Children were elsewhere and I had an evening to myself.

What I really wanted to do was fall face first into bed and take a decades-long really long nap.

But I knew if I did that I would be up in the middle of the night.

And since I have to get up at o'dark thirty to go to work, that would not be good.

Speaking of which, I am most displeased to report that at five thirty, when I usually drag myself on hands and knees to the coffeemaker, begging for that first merciful cup wake up, the sun is no longer shining brightly, as it has been all summer.

Now, it's oh so dark at that hour.

This is not good.

CBW does not like waking up before ten o'clock in the dark. In fact, she feels strongly that it goes against all the rules of nature unless she were a raccoon or a possum or some other nocturnal creature, which last she checked she is not.

In conclusion, what all this has to do with soybeans is absolutely nothing, except that CBW thrives in the long days of bright sunshine and beautiful colors of summer and could go swimming in the sea of green that each crop temporarily provides.

And waking up in the dark doesn't amount to a hill o' beans.
