A Special Post: A Texas Love
"For behold the field is white already to harvest."
Doctrine and Covenants 4:4
Most of Texas does not receive any snow, or only does every hundred years or so, during winter, but another wondrous white beauty happens in August; harvest time for cotton.
I live in a small town in South Texas and it is surrounded by crop fields. During August, the cotton fields turn white and are harvested. If you have seen cotton grow, it starts as a small green shrub-like crop, then the buds grow in.
The bud turn brown and it breaks open to reveal a soft white cotton bloom.
When you drive by the cotton fields at 80 mph, it looks the fields are covered in snow.
It's a beautiful sight.
I’ve made a wreath from faux cotton stalks I bought at Dollar Tree in 2019.
I place it on our door during August; the time the cotton fields are white and already to harvest.
Find beauty all around. God gives with both hands.
See y'all soon!
