just a bit more fall...

I promise it will be over soon enough...

got rain and wind today, so that took care of a lot of the fall leaves...

do you have papers like this in your town?

we rode down to the deli in Ashmore and then came back on a country road that I like...

just a small detour...

loving all the colors...

and then I met this one...

and of course got a photo of a horse pooping...

but the colors were remarkable...

and older soul...

but still so pretty...
and wet from the morning rain...
posed for me...
and I thanked it and we rode on...

stubble...

another post...

cows...

love the color of the shed...

reflections amid the leaves...

a better view of the creek...

just a nice day to start with...

I love our prairie grasses...

they are the most beautiful...

and another cow...

it got colder this afternoon...

not fun at all being outside...

my DH is working nights now...
temporarily...
to get caught up on the food grade corn...

so we had yesterday and today together...
not doing much...
letting him rest while he could...
12 hour shifts still...
and in the cold of the night...
but its almost finished...
and we will be back to normal...
just in time for things to go nuts around the holidays...
;)
and so it goes on the prairie...

the best of fall on the prairie...

welcome to autumn...

where all the colors are showing...

and the peace of country life is exposed...

where we play and dream...

places we drive by every day and never give a thought to...

well, most of us...

do you know what those are?
that's where the squirrels live...

most of the crops are out, but we found this bottom ground still untouched...

there is something about fence posts...

and old rusty gates...

and broken barbed fences...

the decay of summer...

the most beautiful things just happen...

without our planning it...

that's the world we saw today...
but the rains are coming in again...
and the colors will float away...
and before you know it...
it will all be covered white...
and that will be another drive....

DH working nights for a week or two is going to be different...
not sure how we will function...
but we will get through it...
food grade corn coming in now...
so you can have your fritos...
;)
be blessed...
