The signs are every where
It’s Onion Harvest (no, we don’t raise onions, but our neighbors do)
Pinto Bean harvest (we stopped raising beans a few years back) is happening just across the road from us
(The ensilage/silage trucks are thick on the roads)
The third
cutting of hay is done or being done even as I write.
(Ours is all cut, baled, stacked, and sold. The last load went out Saturday afternoon—YAY)
(Some of these photos are from my archives—still, everything is happening just as I have written)
The only thing going on now (for us) is irrigation. The alfalfa and grass cannot go into winter dry. And the corn needs to be as full and heavy with water as possible.
Yes…Autumn—our world is full of harvests!

Getting dryer. Grasses are turning bronze, maples are just starting to turn. Aspen are still green. Flowers still blooming – for a while.

Java Bean: “But not here?”
Lulu: “Well here it’s pretty much like the rest of the year, so there’s not a lot to recommend it over spring or summer or winter …”
Charlee: “That’s a lot of pinto beans! We have a big bag of them out in the garage, but I think those people have more …”
