Late Summer

 

Last cutting of Alfalfa

 

 

The nuthatches are back.

 

 

 

 

Crepe myrtle

 

 

This small tree is growing nicely and adds beauty to our late summer yard.

 

 

Even the seed pods are pretty.

 

 

A late daylily

 

 

Our dogwood leaves are usually the first to turn colors.

 

 

Some others are also beginning to show signs of the certain arrival of autumn.

 

 

There must be grubs in our bird feeding area, because we are seeing so many skunks.

 

 

This praying mantis kept an eye on me as I got closer.

 

 

Isn’t that an interesting face?

 

 

 

 

 

On the evening of September 5, I heard a sound that told me our landscape would be changed by morning.

 

 

We had become accustomed to the sight of tall corn.

 

 

It always makes me a bit nervous when I watch my brothers and nephews driving on the silage to pack it down because they do it all night and through much of the next day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just before dark they began working in the field next to our yard.

 

 

Notice the wheels of the tractor are still below the sides of the bunk storage.

 

 

The last picture I took on Wednesday evening.

 

 

Thursday morning landscape.

 

 

The tractor is now much higher on the silage.

Thank you Lord for another year of safety!
