Saturday Morning Chills....

 This morning it's 45 degrees....it feels very chilly. So a nice warm cup of coffee is hitting the spot.
 Yes, it's harvest time in our area. Some soybeans and corn have been  harvested lately. One nearby field has already been plowed for next spring.
 Trees are turning , and losing leaves with the rain and wind we have had the past two days. So I'd say we are well into autumn. Just hoping there's no early winter.
 I love this scene out our dining room window.  I have noticed a slow down in the birds coming around. It's time to bring in the hummingbird feeders.
I love seeing all the pretty colors of fall. The flowers and trees. Hope all of you are enjoying the beauty also.  May need a sweater for going out. XO

  1. I see patches of snow on the radar this morning-just west of Chicago. Hope it misses me.

    1. Gert, I hate turning the furnace on...so it's sweaters for now. We may use a space heater to take the chill off or make a wee fire in the fireplace. Stay warm. xoxo,Susie

  7. Susie- What pretty pictures. I love the view from your dining room, too. Someone recently told me that some humming birds stay year round. I could hardly believe it but I guess it is true.

    You were TWELVE DEGREES warmer there this morning than we were here. You must be in the middle of a heat wave! lol xo Diana

  9. beautiful photos, I have never saw soybeans being harvested, its cold here too, snow just a up north from us, thats too early for me,

  10. Laurie, When they harvest soybeans it's a dusty dirty job. The beans are all that goes into the combine. The rest just gets pulverized. It's a pretty sight when the sun is shining on the fields. Stay warm and let's pray for a long wonderful autumn. xoxo,Susie

    1. Brrr Debby , we do not want snow right now...let's have a nice long fall season. :):) Our farmers have a long way to go before the harvest is done around here. I have been cold all day. Ted just now made a small fire in the fireplace, to take the chill out of the air. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  12. It was so cold here too all day! I hope we don't have an early winter! Whenever I see John Deere tractors, it makes me think of my dad. He was a life long farmer, and never used anything but a Deere:)

  13. I had to turn the heat on here this morning as it is 36 degrees. Glad I remembered to bring my little lemon tree in last night. Looks like a pretty fall is happening in your area. xo Laura

  14. Hi Susie,
    It looks like a beautiful autumn where you live! It's been below freezing here in the mornings, so it's almost time to get the wood stove going again.
    Have a lovely day,

  15. Susie,
    There's just something about your posts that are so delightful to me. The area where you live is so pretty. It's been colder here in the mornings, but still warm during the day. It's supposed to get cooler in the next week or so. These are the prettiest leaves I've seen this season. They have a lot of red in them. How wonderful to see harvest time in your area.

    love,
    ~Sheri
