Monday and Wednesday were beautiful sunshiny days.  Tuesday was cloudy and a bit damp today (Thursday) is very damp.

With Monday’s sunshine, farmers were in the fields early.  Traffic was [relatively] heavy–more than one vehicle per hour passing.  Harvesting equipment went by and then the trucks were running back and forth.  Some large trucks ran solo.  Others had farm wagons in tow.  As day came to an end, so did the activity.

Tuesday, the weather kept the neighbors out of the fields.

Wednesday followed a similar pattern to Monday.  However, when the sun went down, the activity didn’t cease.  Rain would begin overnight.  The harvest must be brought in.

Observers

This morning, I saw a deer on the lawn.  No two .  Make it three.  No four.  Two of them were racing around.  Not the high bounding leaps that you may have seen.  These two hugged the ground and went for all-out speed.

Oh yes, it is November.  It’s silly season for these critters.  Time to make the babies that will be born in the spring.  We have to be extra alert as we drive around our neighborhood.  Should I put the deer whistles back on my car?
