Village Harvest

Cotton-pickin' Grandma

Many hands make light work

Grinding stone in the village
Goats in the street

Drying corn on the side of the road

Crops ready for harvest

Ivy vines covering the aged stone

Stately red doorways opening to homes

Biking through the beautiful villages

Last weekend we went for a bike ride in the villages. Living in a small Chinese city means living only a short distance from the countryside. It is the season of harvest. Above are images we captured as we biked.  We love the peacefulness and simplicity of life in the Chinese villages.

  4. it looks beautiful! what kind of crops were there growing there--the ones that you said were ready to pick? do you know what they use the dried corn for--just for seed for the next year, or for food?
