I want to show you falmer...

it looks a lot like fall...
but with the temps in the 90's, it feels like summer...
so half way in between fall and summer is falmer...
and that's worth a drive...
all the unmowed road ways are littered with wonderful yellow...
but there's still green...
and beans...
but it wouldn't be falmer without John Deere...
you should hear all the rustling going on...
corn is a noisy crop...
and implements litter the landscape...
the ears need to drop...
and a lot of fields are labeled with the seed used...

an old RR sign...leaning from being pushed aside by farming...
and the roads we traveled today were criss crossed with RRs...
fun red gate just waiting for swinging on...
that leads to a pasture of black angus beef cattle...
golden rod is blazing...
but we need rain and the creeks are low...
and our here in the boonies...
there are no lights or warnings...
you have to stop and look both ways and listen...
the trains have to blow their horn...
one short, one long, 2 short...
a field picked...
augers in front of the elevator...
just waiting to be put into use...
the elevator gearing up...
a couple of farmers dumping this evening...
the elevator is huge...
and what would a falmer drive be without a little critter?...
I met a new friend on the way home...
his mommy was hit by a car and went to Heaven...
so he was rescued with his sibling...
this little boy is about 4 weeks old...
in another month he can be released back where he needs to go...
he is so healthy and happy...
he chattered at me and talked up a storm...
what a sweet baby he is...
I will visit him again before we have to say goodbye...
ya'll have a great evening...
and if you have a critter...
sit down and have a chat...
you'll be surprised at what they have to say...

Ahoy, me Hearties!... did you know?

that there is an international talk like a pirate day?...
well, you do now...
I had no clue either...
any excuse to celebrate Johnny Depp as a pirate is good enough for me...
so grab a parrot and play along...
Captain Jack Sparrow would want you to...

night time...

the leaves are starting to gather...
amd the evenings are a nice time to sit outside...
we are having massive temp changes here...
in the 50's at night and 90's during the day...
a chance of rain this afternoon...
but a bigger chance in a couple days...
everything is very dry...
watering a couple times a day...
just sitting here in the dark waiting for the sun to come up...
and everyone else to get out of bed...
have a great morning!...
