I’m doing a very short series of wonderful posts from blogger friends…today I would really like you to go visit Uncle Spike. You will never be disappointed. Over 1,000 people have signed up to read his blog and thousands of others stop by and visit.
Uncle Spike’s spot is a unique visit to Turkey and small acreage farming in the West Taurus Mountains. Green Lizard won a contest Uncle Spike had going on…her request was a blog post about Turkey and Rain on her blog.
Rain: My Turkish Delight is most unusual and outstanding. So much so I wanted to share it with all of my friends and readers.
Here is just one photo from that post and a small peak into his farming life.
Early fall is here. The leaves on the cottonwoods are starting to lighten up changing to yellow; later on they will be gold.
My yard is doing wonderfully. Although, as you can tell, I need to get busy and repaint the house. I hope to get that done after all the grandchildren leave.
We are very busy still….no real down time yet. Terry just about has the pinto bean combine repaired and ready to go. I’m putting up produce for winter feats. Since the kids are gone we now have the house you see beyond the cornfield, to keep track of. This afternoon I will go down and water the lawn, rake and mow the edges. No matter how busy spring, summer and fall are….I love every moment.

Early fall here, too. And darker in the mornings. I really hate the thought of winter coming. Depressing.

Uncle Spikes rain looks wonderful!
There is a difference in the air here too. Getting darker earlier! Ugh! But I like the cool nights. Windows open ceiling fan on, I sleep like a baby!
Do the kids have their home for sale? Or is it part of the farm?
Hired hand?

guess they don’t want to sell that place so it falls to you to maintain. 🙂

Can’t believe you are already mentioning ‘fall’… we are just at the peak of summer (42 or 108 today), and won’t see clouds or rain for another couple of months really.

No sign of fall here but we don’t usually have any signs until late October. Will you be renting the other house to someone?

Hi Linda, I got excited when seeing your Cannas… I don’t think I have ever seen pictures of yours… Mine are doing so well—thanks to you. Do you deadhead yours after they bloom? Will they bloom again? I can see how much they expand –when looking at all of the seed pods on them. However, our seeds just fall to the sidewalk so I don’t suppose they will expand much…?????
Hugs,
Betsy
