The Last Day of September the year 2013 (30 days hath September –April, June, and November).
Although, the morning’s have been very frosty (that is frost on the grass)
The days are warming up nicely, even to the point I can open the windows and pretend it is still Summer. The Daily View taken at 4 O’clock in the afternoon is still looking very nice.
Harvest is going on strong for the pinto beans, onions, and the end of the silage. The frost has taken the weight/moisture out of the ensilage corn, but it still has to be chopped and packed into the pits.
Another storm is due in Friday therefore causing everyone to work diligently in hopes of getting done, or at least as much as possible done before it hits.
We are waiting for the corn to reach the perfect amount of dryness before we must begin our corn harvest. We are thinking around the third week of October, but only time will tell.
I’m off now to help Terry work on our oldest Daughter’s wood stove. Then we will work on the getting the corn combine ready for harvest. After those two things are in place I hope to get my lawn mowed. In many ways fall is just as busy, if not more so than spring.
Your friend on the farm,

Life is rarely dull on a farm. I hope the weather cooperates and you can get your corn in without any major delays. It’s cool here on the Plateau of Tennessee today, but it’s supposed to get warm again later in the week.

Its always sad when the garden gets frosted – ours is already done. I mowed it yesterday. Didn’t get many pumpkins this year because I let the sun flowers grow too high and it shaded them.
Let me know what you learn about social security and medicare. I have 4 more years to go…working around 64 hours a week right now. Next year, I hope to drop at least one day at the schools.

This year has been a wild and strange weather year. We haven’t had frost yet. I hope to mow sometime this week, then be done with that! Seems I am constantly washing the outside windows! With this spotty rain and WIND! aye aye aye! Gusts up to 75 mph AGAIN today. So it feels like its in the 20’s! Your last pic looks like the clouds around here today….

I gave in an turned on the furnace this morning just to take the morning chill off, but the temperatures should get into the 70s today. And, like you, I will pretend it;’s summer.

Hi Linda, We are home from our 10 day vacation… Hope you followed along with us on FB… It was fabulous—but nice to be home.
Hope your weather cooperates with you –while waiting for the corn.
Hope you have had a great week.
Hugs,
Betsy

Frost already…wow. No lower than 43 here yet – but that’s bad enough. Mid-70’s for highs this week…maybe the fleece can go back in the closet for a few more days 🙂

No frost here yet. I love the cool night, but it is hard to dress the kids appropriately. They go to school cold and come home hot!

Your daily shot and the one with frost are so pretty. Those are some amazing clouds in the last shot. What is it with clouds this year? Or have they been here all along and I missed them?

Looks like a heavy frost. It has gotten down to 42 here but now today it has gotten back up to 90 in the daytime. We’re just bouncing up and down! 🙂 Lovely 4 o’clock picture, Linda.
Blessings!

Too early for frost, but it sure is pretty. I hope the rain doesn’t interfere with the drying process, I had to ask my husband what ensilage is!

Good luck with all those jobs Linda – it is much the same here in the UK – all rushing to get everything safely gathered in.
