Changing Scenery.....

 The views around here are really changing lately. The trees are losing there leaves, seems quickly too. I know this yard needs raked. More of that will be happening.
 These beans have been picked. Trucks are lined up at the grain elevators. The farmers were in the fields all weekend . In the night also.
The neighbor's apples are even falling.  There were not as many this year as last year. Last year seemed an abundance of apples. This year just a few on each tree.
 I can see the leaves are really off the trees in the back woods.   Over a month of fall is gone already.
We had some snow this time last year. I am ever so thankful we don't have it now.:) Today will be about 78 , tomorrow rain is forecasted. The rest of the week near 60, maybe. But rain on the night the kids can trick-or-treat.
  I plan on enjoying this day. :) Hope you do also. XO

  1. Yes- it is changing here, too, Susie. Patches of color gone now here and there. Fields that have been harvested. Your pictures are great but make me think of the winter to come. Have a great Monday- xo Diana

    1. There are two theories of what winter will be. The farmer's almanac says another bad winter... the scientist say not as bad as last year...we will find out. Our wood pile saved our fuel for a long time , thus saving money . Hope we have it mild this year. xoxo,Susie

  3. Not much change here yet, many of our trees don't lose their leaves at all, but they're promising fall like weather next weekend.

Will start gathering them up in earnext this week. That will always give Louis Dean something to do......as if he doesn't stay busy already! Love the apple tree pic.....do YOU get to keep any???

  8. Susie,
    I am wondering if you could pick some of your neighbor's apples off the ground to make an apple pie? Wouldn't that be good? We just went to a place called Apple Hill this weekend, and they have apple pie, apple doughnuts, caramel apples, and hot apple cider. I hope the weather stays nice for you for awhile, Susie.

    Have a good week.

    love,
    ~Sheri

  12. Hi Susie,
    I had apples on an apple tree last year that I picked forever! This year it only had a couple. So, I went to Farlow's Orchard the other day. He said last year they were opened until April because there was such an abundance of apples that it killed their business. I wonder if the apple decline had anything to do with the bee decline from our harsh winter. Just a thought.
    I loved the warm weather we had the last couple of days. I got so much done. Did you make it to Treasure Mart yesterday? My friend has a booth that she is closing in a couple of weeks so she is going to have a sale. I hope to blog about it beforehand. Hope you can stop by and say hi! Her booth is at the other Treasure Mart, on Vaile. Take Care

    1. Cindy, I think last winter hurt many things. You are right, the year before was the most apple we ever saw at the neighbors. This year just a few. The same with our hickory tree. Always picking up nuts last year and only about 2 dozen this year. May have to put food out for the squirrels..xoxo,Susie
