The men,the tobacco, the field, the sun, the clouds, the trucks, the sprinklers, the rainbow, exhibited the wonder of it all. The tobacco, just up out of the ground and visible, needs the tender care of water as do all living things. Standing beside the road, the men had their arms crossed and their heads cocked back as if they were enjoying the fruits of their labors. The sky was blue and clear as the backdrop for the sparkling beads of beauty raining down on their crop. Quiet rainbows formed in the spaces where the spraying water collided. The short and uniform plants swayed as if dancing for the joy of the drink. All was well for the golden leaf of Pittsylvania County on this day.
