The Pinto bean fields are starting to turn yellow
It’s getting close—Pinto Bean Harvest.
And to go along with Fall—-a big fat Cat-Head Spider. It seems we only really see them in the Autumn time.

They say that plants send us a message by their color, telling us they are ready to be harvested and eaten, to help them reproduce.

While I’m glad to hear that the pinto bean harvest is getting closer, you can keep your fat spiders as far as I’m concerned.

We used to see these spiders every year..they were interesting and harmless to humans. However, this year we have not seen these or even the big garden spiders. Lots of late summer dragonflies, though. I hate the thought of summer being over…yes yes, I know Indian Summer is beautiful, but just a reminder that winter is on the way.

You know, I haven’t seen those big yellow garden spiders either this year. I wonder why? Have you moved yet? I keep thinking to ask you, but I forget.

Move is in progress…slowly.

Oh! Exciting. You will get to have a longer Fall that way!

Glad harvest is soon but as for the Cat-Headed Spider–never hear of one so you can have it

Fall is working its way here too. Spiders have a job to do but some really scare me. That’s a lot of Pinto beans. Yellow must mean almost food time to them. 😉

I am not a fan of spider’s either. They rather give me the hibby-jibby’s, as my mother used to say. 🙂
