The air itself carries the scent of turned earth and ripening corn, a fragrance that speaks of the deep, quiet work of the seasons. Even the sky seems larger here, a vast, ever-changing canvas that can shift from the bruised purples of an approaching storm to the pale, luminous gold of a setting sun.
