We’ve been having a few days of freezing fog lately. Makes for some neat photos. Make sure you click the 4 corner button near the bottom right to view full screen — looks better that way.
If the above slideshow doesn’t work for you (mom), these same pictures can be found on our flickr site – click on our flickr photos at the right.
It is a sign of the season that I am now taking photos of cows. But in their/my defense, there is something beautiful about them. They dot the hills and really seem to have a great time of it. Or at least an okay time. I mean, cows aren’t wonderfully enthusiastic creatures. At least the not the cows I have met. These are not our cows, and so it makes seeing them all the more relaxing and fun. And we are not in the market for a cow, so don’t go trying to give us one. Anne does talk about chickens though. Perhaps that would be something to try next year.
Perhaps it is the cooler temps and soggy ground – (stereo)typical weather of New England states – but whatever the cause, the fall color has been vibrant this year. If only our trees were a little bigger.
The cabin blends nicely with the natural color. Almost like we planned it. Maybe Anne did – I’m a little color challenged.
The perfect day to try out the new rain gauge from Jan. Thanks Jan! Looks like we had just under an inch of rain today. It was a slow steady all-day kind of rain. Now the ground is soggy. And the fruit and flowers are super clean. Perhaps I too should shower.
We've planted gardens of fruit, perennials and vegetables on a small acreage in rural Iowa. Our projects, successes and questions are featured on this site.
