Lugnasa on the Farm

Lugnasa -- first harvest, ancient beginning- of- the- end- of- summer festival-- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lughnasadh

These steers are flopped on the ground under some trees taking a little break.  I can sense a shift in the light, a softening of the grip of the heat and humidity--

a distinct lack of interest in mothering in these sows having a snooze in the mud and completely ignoring the rather large baby who is licking grain off his mother's back.  
Lambies are turning into wooly sheep,  piggies have learned how to doze in the mud and go off to college all on their own.
