There's a turn-up for the books.<br /><br />I loved the two perspectives you afforded us here: the farmer and his wife viewing the harvest from different angles.

It is standard to leave a great piece of writing for the story faery, who comes in the night to collect her reward and leave french cigarettes, lip gloss, and whiskey in return. <br /><br />What I find so amazing about this piece is the tone you evoked, as if the characters situation and dilemmas are a harvest of their own. I sensed your classic ease in describing the guy content with his flask, radio lights, and the dreams of fly fishing, and I sensed something far beyond greatness in the quiet meh of the lady wrapped in her bronco's blanket....and of course all the while, that blasted owl preying over all. just superb!

They are complete meals(and btw 'ham and cheese tones' go well with Good Hearted Woman) You tell us everything we need to know to see these people, and to put ourselves into their world for a bit. The illustration between male and female wiring is pretty spot on, also.
