New wordle words from Brenda at The Sunday Whirl:
remote, warriors, fierce, suffering,
silence, shaken, blessing, rugged,
cows, splendor, marble, grace
Bucolic Splendor
There's something soothing
about cows grazing in a grassy field,
blue skies marbled with fat clouds,
cicadas lazily thrumming still air.
There's a languid silence,
a simple grace, respite from
the suffering of a weary world.
Fierce warrior-bees faithfully
guard the sleepy meadow,
keep trespassers at bay,
late summer blessing.

I could see all of this, how relaxing a scene that would be. You described a perfect setting to me.
Lovely :)
Love your painting of this scene. I felt relaxed just reading it. I particularly like this line: 'blue skies marbled with fat clouds'. Now, I think I shall read the poem again and relax with the cows.
Bucolic Splendor, indeed. There is something about cows...we went barely 45 minutes on our trip from Great Falls through Minnesota without seeing them on the side of the road. :)
This write covers me with the splendor of lazy afternoons. I love the thrumming cicadas. Well done.
What a lovely scene you have painted with words... the bees make for an unexpected ending.
Here's mine:

This brought to mind a show I saw where a gent wanted to buy a farm and just make cheese for the rest of his life. I think he would be just as content as the cows. The honey is an added bonus.
Thanks for your visit and kind words on: http://julesgemsandstuff.blogspot.com/2012/09/sunday-whirl-73-pause.html
Brenda's lists make it easy :)
Beautiful natural setting well written and portrayed,

Late summer blessing indeed... this was so peaceful and lovely. I really liked this line:
cicadas lazily thrumming still air
I love this relaxing picture that you painted. It's very soothing in content, and soothing to read, it flows well.
Oh, yes, a lovely scene!
Tres bien!
Love the style and simplicity of this!
