Sarah is a British eccentric who writes offbeat fiction, haiku and tanka poetry. When stuck for words, she sketches or paints instead. She's into nature conservation, sustainability, gardening, dogs, natural health, and reading. Her sociability is something that happens in short bursts with long breathing spaces in between.

The art game players have done an extra splendid job with this week’s image. To me, it really conveys what back-breaking work of some farmers in poor rural communities. And in wide open spaces like the one in that image, they are so at the mercy of the elements. One bad harvest means starvation.
Yes, my great-great-grandfathers on both sides were farmers, but I doubt they’d have starved after a bad winter.
