Come sit with me…let time slow down…
Let the hummingbirds be the only whirlwind
Enjoy (with me) our now fall days…summer is quickly passing
Morning air is crisp if not clear, and the plants have dew drops like rain upon their leaves
The crows are back a sure sign of soon to be harvesting and I heard two owls in the wee morning light today
Moisture is even in the air —above the smoke-filled clouds
Either a slight rainbow or a sundog…cooler weather is coming our way
Terry has stopped the water on the pinto bean field…in one week he will start pulling the beans. In two weeks we harvest.
Still for a short while…sit with me
Let the summer day pass into fall with peace and joy
Quietness and comfort as the day winds down
And the little hummingbirds drink their fill
In that hour between day and night
Just before the sun sets.
From my world to your heart, My Friends,
Linda

I very much enjoyed sitting with you enjoying the beauty of your farm. I’m glad you are getting some cooler weather (and perhaps even some rain?).

I hope so we are so desperate for some rain. There is moisture in the clouds and dew now, which we have not had all summer.

The photo of the sunset on the irrigation water is stunning. Did you know you can post photos for sale at a number of photo sites like IStockphotos and many others?
LikeLike
Yes, but once I post them and they buy them I can no longer use them. That is what keeps me from doing it. But maybe I should so others can enjoy them.

Fall gives us time to think and reflect after a hectic summer. Beautiful thoughts and photos of the hummingbirds! I know you like rainbows so I have mailed one from Sweden to you. Best regards, Asta

That photo of sunset-lit water in the canal is amazing, it looks like a sheet of molten copper. I’m glad there’s a cool change coming…

I can handle pretty much anything if the smoke would go away. Ready for rain to put out the fires everywhere. Great photos and I love that you have so many hummingbirds around.

Today I don’t have hardly any! Me thinks they have left! I’m sad and stunned and not ready for them to leave! 😦

Maybe they are hiding from the smoke too.

Well, I can wish. But our nights are really cool now in the very low 50s and I’m sure they need it much warmer. Still we should have a few moving through. At least I hope so.

Loved visiting your garden and serene pictures. We have lots of smoke and are surrounded by fires. Heard an owl last night, too. Crows have gathered and left. Sandhills are still here, but no chick again this year. Never thought I would wish for cold and snow to put out those terrible fires.
LikeLike
Me either, but we sure need them to die down and go away. I saw a flock of geese yesterday!

How beautiful your post is today, Linda. I can never get over the number of hummers that you attract. It must be a full time job keeping those feeders filled! How long will your hummers continue to stay around? You are blessed. and we are blessed by all the beauty at your place…thanks so much for sharing it!

They are leaving now. Yesterday we had a few, maybe around twenty, nothing like the forty or so. I always hate to see them leaves. But I don’t want them trapped along the way to their warmer winter homes, so I know they must go.

You describe the beginning of fall beautifully. It’s a time that always tugs at my emotions. I love summer and hate seeing it go. Fall is equally beautiful but fraught with activity I am not yet geared up for. Do you have a favorite season?
LikeLike
Yes, Summer! Fall is lovely with all it’s amazing glory, but it feel sad to me. Spring is delightful because the days are longer and there is a freshness to the earth. But the best time of the year is Summer! Heat and all! 🙂

Me too. But we are cooling down rapidly now and they are moving on. I have gone from 2 gallons of sugar water a day to 1 gallon every two days. Sad.
