As spring gave way to summer, the bright green stalks darkened, became tan, turned golden brown. The days grew long and hot.

The wheat rose and the ripening heads bent in the prairie wind, a rippling curtain, an endless, undulating sea that stretched to the horizon.

That is why people sell synthetic rose and end up poisoning themselves. It shouldn't be that way.

One that could kill you.
Richelle Mead'Yea and I beheld Sisyphus in strong torment, grasping a monstrous stone with both his hands. He was pressing thereat with hands and feet, and trying to roll the stone upward toward the brow of the hill.
