Look at our Emma. She is growing up ...with these glasses on she seems even older. LOL We went to Liz's for a celebration of Matt's birthday, early.
Yesterday morning early, Mike (neighbor) was putting the bean head on his combine.
Then he pulls the wagons to the field he is harvesting. I call these bumble wagons..they make the most racket coming down the barn drive, sound like thunder.
The fellow who farms the field across from us , did beans yesterday also. Got the whole field down.
So must dust and dirt. I will be washing windows soon. I wanted to wait till all the crops around here were in.
Beans all harvested in front of our house.
Neighbor man , Mike's corn next door to his mother's...done.
Coming home from my daughter's house yesterday evening. Got this pretty sunset. It was so nice to see my twin daughters and their families. Plus some of Matt's birthday wishing friends.
Today was a perfect day. Ted cut a dead tree down for the neighbor and cut it into firewood already. I did laundry and cleaned. Read some blogs. :):)
It's terrible , the havoc the hurricane has caused the coastal states. Let's keep them in our thoughts. Bless you. XO
Looks like most of the harvest is done around you. They're still working on it here and putting up alot of hay. Emma has grown so much. They just grow up before our eyes. I cry when I watch the news or weather.As dry as it is here I'm afraid to complain with so many people's lives destroyed like it is. I feel so bad for them. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteSusie, The harvesting around here has been moving right along. Lucky for the farmers, the weather's good. I hope the people along the coast can rebound, with help from fema and donations. We have to count our blessings, Love , xoxo, Susie
DeleteI absolutely love that sunset. It's so beautiful. With all the crops being harvested, you know fall is really here.
ReplyDeleteKathy, It's been in the 40 when we get up in the mornings and after all the hot weather...that can feel so cold. LOL. Hope your Sunday is truly blessed, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat's a beautiful sunset picture. We have corn around us. It will be a while before that is taken off the fields. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteHi Jenn, I think my neighbor gets kind of nervous to get crops out and then to get then in at harvest. He's done a great job. I am glad the fields of bean on the corner and across from us harvested...we can see again. LOL. Not blocking the views. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteEmma is so sweet! I love the pics. You are so lucky to live surrounded by so much beautiful farmland. It's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for the coast of Florida, Georgia and the Carolina's. I had my cell under my pillow to check the progress, It could have been much worse.
Jane
Blondie, I am thankful and at the same time saddened by the news. Thankful the hurricane diminished, sad by the lose to all in it's path.
DeleteOur Emma is growing up and spends time with her friends, and Layla & Max(niece and nephew to her)So we rarely have any time with her spending the night here. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Your Emma is adorable love her glasses. Love that beautiful sunset. That is what I love about moving where we are now. Out the back of where we live is all farmland and out the front is suburbia with Target, shops, eating etc. Best of both worlds. I love driving home from my daughters house and seeing those pretty sunsets and the open farms. Have a great week end.

Kris, It is good for the heartland and Midwest to be in a great harvesting weather pattern. My prayers go to the people effected by the hurricane...I know they will rebound but it's going to take lots of help.
DeleteYou are in the best spot. I feel at times that the 5 miles to town is more than I want to bother with. LOL. Blessings for a beautiful Sunday. xoxo, Susie
Love the photos! Emma is so sweet ♥

Thank you Summer. Emma is our youngest granddaughter and it's breaking my heart that she is growing up and not wanting to come over as often. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love your granddaughters' smile. She definitely has a twinkle in her eyes.
ReplyDeleteI miss all the sounds of farm life since we moved to the lake.
The photo of the sunset is just gorgeous, Susie! Thank you for sharing your day with us.
I have been away from blogging all summer. Hopefully I will catch up now that it's cooler outside.
Love to you, my dear friend.
Debbie

Debbie, Glad you are blogging again. I have missed you. We saw Emma and it seems each time she has grown a couple inches. She's as tall as I am. You have sounds at the lake that are nice to hear also...boats and people enjoying the water. Blessings to you and your family sweet friend. Love you so much,,xoxo, Susie
DeleteEmma is a beauty...and she IS growing so fast..all the kids are...i look at ours and think, where did the time go?
ReplyDeleteWe've had sprinkles all morning but no real rain...still cloudy, tho
BJ, We want our children to grow but oh it seems too fast at times. We had the best weekend weather wise here. I am heart broken for the coastal states. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYour Emma has a sweet smile. I bet she is a gem! Have you ever noticed that when it is harvest time, you can smell it? Have a wonderful fall.
ReplyDeleteThank you, we are very fond of our girl...she's our youngest granddaughter. Growing before our eyes. Yes some morning this past summer I could smell the corn . When they harvest it's pretty dusty. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteEmma is looking lovely and I hope she is enjoying her glasses and the difference they make for her. Your sunset is beautiful. What kind of beans do you grow?
ReplyDeleteThank you Nonnie. I am glad Emma is wearing her glasses ...she was working on an electronic devise. We grow soybeans , corn, wheat, hay and tomatoes around this area. Mostly corn and soybeans. It's been good harvesting weather here...a blessing for the farmers. Hope you had a wonderful weekend, bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGosh yes, Emma is growing up. My youngest niece turned 13 today. (sad face) Time sure goes fast, doesn't it Susie. I don't have any farm fields right next door to my house, and I sure am glad because I'm working in the basement and do not want to take time out to wash windows!! LOL! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteCindy Bee
Cindy, I just keep putting off the window washing. I need to do it right now. And may. I hate dirty windows. I use white vinegar and water and a squeegee....makes for the easiest washing ever. Oh and wipe the squeegee with a ball of paper towels, each pass down the window. :) Cindy, I know children gotta grow...but it seems faster than I can keep up. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGlad it was a perfect day, Sundays seem that way.
ReplyDeleteI truly love slow peaceful Sundays. Ann, our weather has been the best ever for about a week now. I am loving it. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteMy computer was down for a few days. Nice to read your post and catch up.
ReplyDeleteEmma is adorable.
HI Karen, Oh if I have computer problems , I am lost...and going on crazy. I can do emails and a blog and searches...bt not much else. I could take the motherboard out and change out chips things like that...the hardware repair...but nothing with software. I hope you have had the same awesome weather we have had here. Heavenly. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteEmma is getting so big, Susie. How nice that you got to spend the day with your daughters. I just moved into a new place this weekend, and so tired, Susie. But I missed you and wanted to stop unpacking for awhile and visit some of my favorite blogs. Everything always looks so green and groomed at your home. And that sunset is beautiful.
ReplyDeletelove, Sheri
thank you for the birthday wishes for Jess. :)
