In this romantic setting we are transported to a time and place where the meaning of "country neighbors" is beautifully apparent. The day's work for both man and wildlife is completed. The pickup is loaded and ready for a trip to town in the morning. The exhausted farmer will relax for a moment on the high porch to enjoy the sunset before heading for bed. The mallards swing in low for the last time this season. After a good night's rest they will begin their annual journey south. Off in the distance the country church offers a neighborly reminder of who, really, is in charge of nature's abundant gifts.
