Hay, hay, hay

The smell of the fresh hay was like aroma therapy all morning.  The barn swallows serenaded me with their busy swoops and the occasional curious dog rounded out an extraordinary morning.  The plein-air season is underway and I'm trying to get my chops for the Cuttyhunk wet painting trip next weekend.   Such a crap shoot sometimes.
