This October has been so spectacular I can hardly handle it. I forget that I adore this month! I think I psych myself up for cold weather and forget these stunning fall days. But this last week has been so glorious I have said each day, "we're all going outside! This weather isn't going to last!" But it has!
Saturday we got home from an apple orchard (more later! a gem!) and found combines in our field. Everyone needed a snack to stretch us to supper, so I put some curly fries in the oven and then joined the family (Hattie was napping) to watch the show with fries and ketchup. And what a show! The man who owns the field behind us is aging, and they must have hired a harvesting service. Because there were two combines, two tractors pulling large wagons next to the combines to catch the corn and FOUR semi trucks waiting to take the corn away.
The combines never stopped moving. And it was so mesmerizing. And incredibly fast. We sat and waved to the drivers and they waved back, and made another favorite memory on our farm.
