Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,
Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve;
Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.
Refrain:
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
Today we went to St. Helens to the Medieval/Norse encampment –
a SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) event.
We noticed right off that we were the only ones there not in period
costume.
We got to watch the sheaf tossing contest. They throw a burlap sack behind their back,
trying not to knock off the measuring stick.
This fellow won, so maybe the perspective isn’t quite right.
