Joining the Farm Girls for another week. We’ve had some beautiful weather the last week or so but now I think autumn is really here. It’s only 15C outside today. It’s dull and windy too.
I don’t know where our beautiful bright fall colours have gone this year. It seems all yellow and brown. Colin says it’s because of the dryness. The leaves are going from green to dried up brown. I hope we get lots of snow this winter to replenish the ground water.
Soy bean season is upon us. Colin and Dad are hard at it to get them combined before the wet weather arrives. Here is Colin cleaning the beans that we are keeping for next year’s seed.
Same here with the fall colors–very muted this year. We live in soy bean (and corn) country and I enjoy watching the farmers harvest the beans with the combines.
Oh, it’s already cool in your area… Our temps have dropped some too and I’m anxious to see how our fall color is after Tropical Storm Irene blew through here and sprayed her wet salt all over them! We are getting some reds but I don’t think we are at our peak yet here in southern New England.
Have a great weekend!
Deb ( and thanks for being a regurlar on the farmgirl hop )!
Hope your soybean harvest was good! The fall colors do look a bit muted.
Sorry to hear that the weather and precipitation haven’t been so good for your region this year. I hope your harvest works out well and things improve.
