Skippin’ Over Fall

Well, the fence around the roses is put up. Winter must be around the corner.

The roses have been cut down, and soon they will be covered with dried leaves to protect them from the harsh cold.

Although, it feels like we skipped over fall. The leaves never changed at our house, which feels like a complete shame. We got that one really cold spell, and the leaves just died without beauty. Then the wind came, and blew all the dull brown leaves to the ground. No oranges, reds, or yellows this year. Just blah beige.

At other times, it feels like fall hasn’t even started. They are doing bouts of combining, like today. Germination tests on the soy beans are currently being done at some seed lab to see if the soy beans dried in our drier are any good. We’re crossing our fingers, and bringing it in and drying it at very low temperatures very slowly…just in case.

And the corn is just sitting across the road, not appearing to be in any hurry at all.

Meanwhile, inside, I have all the pink diapers cut out and snapped. Now I just have to sew them up. I plan on working on them tonight and tomorrow night, and finish up the pinks. Then I’ll just have 4 more colors to go.

Maybe I’ll blog more later today…but there’s chores to do, and I have time to do them!
