Wonderful French postcard of harvest queen with a sickle. Posted in 1905
So, just as I'm startin' to drop off to sleep, Jeannemaire comes walkin' around the corner of the house with a sickle in one hand, and a sheaf of tall weeds in the other. She has a funny look in her eyes, and I just start talkin'.
"About before...I don't know who that woman was," I say, "Honest Cher, I surely don't, but what're you doin' cuttin' weeds at this hour of the night?"
Jeannemaire just laughs like silver bells in a soft wind, you know, the kind of bells folks sometimes hang out by the front porch swing. She makes a sweet smile with her red mouth, looks down at the sickle in her hand, and says,
"Shoo honey, this don't mean a thing. That kooter straw out back just grew too tall for its own good, is all. And about before...I'm only sayin' a man ought to treat a woman right, and not fool himself into thinkin' things will always stay the same, because a woman is changeable Tom. She's like that moon up there, sometimes sweet and shiny and bright, and sometimes sharp as...well, sharp as this sickle here. You think about that."
Well, I mean to tell you I did think about that. Yes I did.
Now you tell one :)
