Yep!

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!

I thought, why not. Why not take the game camera to the back and see what I can see.
Oh! My! Deer in a mad dash
Oh! No wonder!
At least they got away, but this predator stayed close to the camera for several minutes.
Coyotes…not my favorite of anything ever!

Hum
Too bad Mom can’t smell what I smell
We have a squirrel!
Maybe he…yes it is a he, is
Over here. He comes out of the wood pile
I’ll just wait here. Maybe I will get to see (chase) the squirrel
Well, that was boring. No squirrel. Although, I could smell him.
So disappointing.

Goodness, this month seems to be flying by.
Anyway, I wanted to show what those pesty deer do to the corn—
Yep! They eat the silks off and the tip of the corn. It’s so yummy for the deer’s tummy.
Ruins the corn…it won’t continue to develop. Sigh
And those delightfully cute, but so damaging raccoons and
Skunks—
They like to tear the stalks down and THEN eat the corn!
Critters. Gotta love ’em, but sure don’t like some of their dining habits.
