I do have very fond memories of my grandparents’ farm in St Paul, OR. that my family would visit most summers for a month or more.
I liked how the poet kept images of the stars in front of us, with the use of words like “starry heads, Venus, Mars, half moon, galaxies and sparks”.-
Thank you for commenting. Several people have mentioned memories of granddparents’ farms, and this reminds me one day my grandsons may be remembering our farm with such fondness. Plus, I am sure Ziggy the donkey will make it into their stories. 🙂

A listener in Virginia commented:
Your imagery comment was spot on. This does take me back to the farm of Pap and Granny where I spent many a long summer night and then today where I live. So peaceful.LikeLike

Hello! Thank you for sharing. This farm she describes is so different from the farm I live on. Here the feel is quite West — arid, meadowlarks, sage, and oaks. You will see few flowers that are not watered. I loved the images of the red daylilies, and I know they were watered by nature.

A listener from Colorado writes:
The second time listening to this, I caught the parallel or mirroring of the numerous stars in the sky and down below, the galaxies of fireflies. Growing up in New England, I loved watching fireflies lit up as night fell. Thank you for sharing this.LikeLike
