The Air Smells Like Autumn Now — Thursday, September 21, 2023
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— Wednesday, September 20, 2023
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!

God(s) is Everywhere — Tuesday, September 19, 2023
God’s voice whispers to us constantly
In the rain
In a curtain of dusk.
Constantly.
We just need to listen!
From my world to your heart!

Let’s See Now—Hummm—Monday, September 18, 2023

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.

Damage—-Sunday, September 17, 2023
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.

Sunday, a Day of Fun with Friends—-Wednesday, September 13, 2023
A few friends met us for a two-hour drive to Marble, Colorado. (Yes we went again)
Go fast cars
Traveling through one of the last coal mines in our part of the world.
(Food from last Sunday—I forgot to get a photo this Sunday 🙂 )
Onto yummy food and friendship, and a
Visit to the Marble Museum.
A heart-happy time,

Third and Last Cutting of Hay — Tuesday, September 12, 2023
We made it! Third cutting of hay—-3,000 plus bales counting first and second and third cutting.
(This is just one stack)
After first cutting Terry and I were exhausted and unbearably tired. But we had no choice but to keep on keeping on.
We finally made it here.
Now to sell this and be done for the haying year 2023!
