Morning Sunshine doesn’t come until 7:00 now. Not so early by Summertime sunrises
The days are cooler and the nights brisk!
Yep! And everything—I do mean everything has a little bit of frantic about it
The onion farmers are busy —they don’t want a freeze before they can get all the onions in storage.
The ensilage/silage is being chopped, stacked, and covered to feed the cows all winter.
And the pinto bean harvest is in full swing.
NO ONE wants a freeze yet. A freeze would ruin all those crops.
And us—
And us? We are gathering the siphon tubes, hauling them in. Putting the farm to bed.
The only ones left are keeping the alfalfa wet. We don’t want the fields to go into winter too dry. The plants would die then. Not a good thought at all.

Harvest time is always a busy time. So much to do, yet so rewarding ~ Brew some apple cider & enjoy those cool days!

I hope the farmers have enough time to get their crops in before you get hit by a freeze. It’s amazing how dark it gets in the evenings this time of year.
