Mud Sale Rengay

Christchurch NZ image by Michelle Sullivan/by permission

side by side

plastic grocery sack

tops his straw hat

fall rain pours

spring wash across the hills

rush of anticipation

side by side

horse carriages and trucks

in a field of mud

cordial green trees

slips of silk

meeting laughter

corn soup and quilts for sale

smell of baking pretzels

embracing the vintner

crossing boundaries 

smokey pinot gris

This rengay depicts an Amish mud sale in Pennsylvania (US) and the Culverden fete, an annual spring event between a beech forest and Christchurch (NZ)
