The hillsides were clothed
in dried grass & herbs. Some
bleached during the summer,
In Flower + Clematis.
Kris were clean in seed.
There were plenty of sheep &
a few goats visible, but
nowhere was the grass
close cropped by cattle.
There is still much room
for cattle. Sprawling
Willows lined the roads
+ the crops grown were turnips,
cabbages, millet & beans.
We returned to Pelsing at
dark.
(21) The morning was cloudy
or foggy rather + more
comfortable than the dry
glory sunshine of the past week.
At the Zoo + Botanic gardens
