Early Morning Rising

Early Morning Rising…



…Dress warmly - high socks, old shoes, long sleeves,
and a sunbonnet for later, in spite of the early morning chill!
…Off to the fields with Mama and sisters!

The baby is put on a quilt to be watched over.
…And there’s Mama’s ever-present warning of snakes!

The deep purple, dew kissed Morning Glory catches my eye
and finds a place to live in my memory, over all these years!
