Down the road, evening.

Picking an ear of wheat, I thresh it between the palms of my hands, let the wind winnow it, and chew the mealy grains. I haven't done this for ages!

Lovely, I've not done that for ages either!

I wonder why we say "ears" of wheat and corn. Here we are awash in corn.

Reminds me of chewing grass seeds in summer, lying on my back watching clouds roll by.

I remember learning at school in an RE lesson about pharisees having a go at the disciples for doing this on a Sunday -- but Jesus said it wasn't work, it was just eating.
