The Harvester

CHAPTER IV
13/36

As soon as I get this house far enough along that I feel I can proceed alone I am going to rush the marrying business just as fast as I can, and let her finish the remainder to her liking." "Well this ought to please her." "That's because you find your own work good," laughed the Harvester.
"Not altogether!" The carpenter polished the board and stood it on end to examine the surface as he talked.

"Not altogether! Nothing but good work would suit you.

I was thinking of the little creek splashing down the hill to the lake; and that old log hewer said that in a few more days things here would be a blaze of colour until fall." "Almost all the drug plants and bushes leaf beautifully and flower brilliantly," explained the Harvester.

"I studied the location suitable to each variety before I set the beds and planned how to grow plants for continuity of bloom, and as much harmony of colour as possible.
Of course a landscape gardener would tear up some of it, but seen as a whole it isn't so bad.

Did you ever notice that in the open, with God's blue overhead and His green for a background, He can place purple and yellow, pink, magenta, red, and blue in masses or any combination you can mention and the brighter the colour the more you like it?
You don't seem to see or feel that any grouping clashes; you revel in each wonderful growth, and luxuriate in the brilliancy of the whole.
