Yesterday I had the privilege of making a long-ish drive through several counties. One of the things I saw gave me joy: fields of cotton plants ready to be harvested. Many fields had already been harvested.
This fluff in the field always catches my attention. I just love to see these cotton bolls ready to harvest. In fact, I would love to harvest some myself then turn them into cotton yarn. So far I have not found a cotton grower to speak with to get permission to harvest a few plants. I am not so silly as to think that I would be a great spinner-of-cotton-yarn. After all, I am not a great spinner of wool yarn which is purported to be much easier than spinning cotton.
In the meantime, I love this photo!
