as summer slips away...

fall steps in...
the corn started coming out this last week...
here, they just took out the in rows so the rest will dry out better...

some still showing some green...

it was a wonderful morning for a drive in the country...

some fields are bare, but not many...

and the water in the creeks and rivers is muddy from the recent rains...

and for those not pickin' yet, they are getting ready to go...

one old road was lined with hundreds of butterflies in the clover...
it was pretty awesome...

another field done gone...

I wish this was my tree...
look at all that apple sauce, apple cider, apple pies and cakes...

another super busy day here and DH's only day off this week...
but its almost over and everyone is in bed here...

Precious will be leaving soon, I am sure...
had friends of ours fill out the adoption form today...
and there were 3 others who asked about her through the rescue...
our friends will find out tomorrow if they get her or not...
she could be leaving here tomorrow...
and we are about 10 days out of the kitties going...
it may get a little quiet around here...
;0)
sure it won't last long...

worked on the front flower bed today, too...
getting ready for that white stuff to fall...
and it won't be long...
  
have a good week!

more finds and sunshine...

Craig snagged 2 sets of golf clubs...
$15 for both...

I got another wheel chair...
$10...
its small size lets us get into tighter places...
like our town grocery store where the isles are very tight...

things are winding down around here...

64 for a high yesterday...
and the leaves falling off of the walnut are allowing the sun to trickle through again...

the autumn clematis is done...
but it sure has grown this year and almost hides the bird house now...

blue skies through the walnut...
the nuts are falling...

they are picking corn even with the high moisture content...
we need some really hot days before the frost comes...
it will not dry on the stalk any more after the frost...

harvest will soon be in full swing...
and our lives will be insane again...
but its a good insane...
the harvest money gets us through the winter...
