Walking by the window, I looked up and saw a SUNDOG!
Colder weather is heading our way in a very few days.
We are still in the process of corn harvest. Two more fields to go!

MOM!!!!! TLC yelled.
MOM!!! I yelled.
“I’m here! I’m here!” Mom replied, bending down to pet us.
We were all staring at the sky.
That big, beautiful, amazing sky.
The Northern Lights!! (aurora borealis). I have only seen these once in my life, and I was probably around 10 when I saw them. Mom told us.
WOW!
We are so lucky, Boo Berry and TLC. WOW!
See that fat thing with wings? What do you think it is?
Drone? Airplane? Fat Fly?

Stirring up the dirt
Catching leaves in the air and swirling them everywhere
It can be a tad hard
Working in the wind
On an Autumn day.

Yep! Corn Harvest Has Begun!
Soon we can see across the fields
And down the road.
The growing and harvesting of Season 2025 is about over!

Happy Autumn, Ya All!

Laying pipe!
With some very good help
Two down, two more to go on this ditch. We have another HUGE ditch we are putting into pipe, but that will be a tad later.
It’s looking good.
So nice.
The help was pretty helpful, also. 🙂
The workload is shrinking!!! (Just not at the moment, but come spring—-
Are we going to be farming next spring? Hummm, I wonder.)

The frost is heavy now.
Boy, do I like it! No more heavy heat that makes me pant, and Boo pant.
Mom and Dad get hot, too. Boo Berry chimed in.
Oh, well, I suppose so, but they don’t have fur! I snapped.
HEY! Boo Berry, I hollered—CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!
So off we went.
Playing hide and seek.
And catch me if you can!
TLC and
Boo Berry
There are heavy frosts now each morning — but the days warm up nicely. (Although the air moving by on the four-wheeler is a tad sharp.)
Terry has two huge projects he (we) are working on right now. Here he is waiting for Boo Berry to catch up with us. We are going up to the ditch we are putting into the pipe.
Getting the open ditches into pipes will make irrigation much easier — they won’t silt up or grow weeds.
Even though the time changed — farmers and ranchers still work by the sun. When the sun is up, we work.
When it grows dark, we come in.
Doesn’t matter what the clock says. 🙂

Sometimes I do wonder, at my age, what the next year, or two years, or even if there will be five years to wander here upon the earth.
Sometimes I feel a tad sad, because, after all, this is a marvelous, wondrous, exciting place to spend a lifetime
But I don’t wonder long, for I always seem to be gifted sparkles (glimmers), delights.
Yes, time may be bearing down on me — but my soul whispers….not yet.
And that is what I’m going with.
Not yet.
