Out driving we came upon a farmer harvesting soybeans. They are always dusty.
This morning the sun rose in the road, oh I love to see that golden glare. I rarely get sunrise shots out here.
The neighbor man had his crop wagon hooked up to his truck. He was on his way to his uncles, down the road.
I call those wagons, bumble wagons as they make the loudest noise as Mike pulls them from the drive next door.
While standing in the road, I turned to the west and saw a bright light.
It was the sun striking the stop sign on the corner.
I look back east and Mikes is on his way back to the field, next to his mothers.
This is the cornfield, he started it yesterday and finished up right before a brief rain went through.
This week we went to Liz's for an early dinner. Got to see Lynzie, Max and Luke. Also the chickens were out and about. The one with the fancy tail is the new rooster. So pretty.
They are in the gravel drive scratching around, just makes me smile to watch them. That drive needs more gravel. :):) I certainly enjoyed our baked spaghetti , with all the trimmings, and pumpkin dump cake , that Liz and Lynzie made for our dinner. So good. I thought I was going to have to pull Ted away from the table. LOL
Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend. Please remember the people in the Carolinas going through floods and loss. XO
That sunshine! Wooo!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandi. I rarely can get a sunrise. :) Hope you are doing well and had a good summer. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThe rooster is pretty! What a lovely fall post.
ReplyDeleteYou can see why I will be washing windows once the crops are in. LOL. It seems as if Fall is coming so fast now. It is to be in the high 40's in the morning hours this weekend. Wow...that's a big change. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHow different this is from where I live. You never see a road with just a couple of cars on it. It's so pretty where you are. I loved all the pictures. Thanks for showing me a bit of your world.
ReplyDeleteKathy, I love seeing where our blog family lives...all the different scenes , everything they see out their front doors and around their towns. Hope you and Joe are well. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThe early bird catches the worm and you catch the best sunrise photos! I love baked spaghetti!
ReplyDeleteDewena, I am always happy to catch a sunrise, as it's hard to see them with the woods on both sides of the road to the east. Oh the great grandsons were eating that spaghetti too. Don't you love the faces of children eating it. I wish I could have gotten a picture of Luke eating ice cream for his dessert...he only had a bit, but he ate it so carefully with his spoon and when it looked more melted, he picked up the tiny bowl and drank it...so funny and all over his little face. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, I hope you do get a pic of Luke eating ice cream sometime. Actually any photos of small children enjoying simple things is precious as they so wholeheartedly are involved in the moment.
DeleteI can't remember if I told you but we will be welcoming our 2nd great-grand around Christmas time, the perfect present!
Susie I bet it's so beautiful to wake up in your neighborhood! Those sunrises are lovely! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeletePilar, Thank you. I have been thinking of you and praying all is well. Hope you are no where near the floods. Hard to believe the flooding has gone on this long.Please be safe. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYou're welcome, and thanks for your concerns Susie! Other counties have been evacuated for flooding, but thankfully not my area. Blessings to you as well!
DeleteThanks for the views of where you live. It looks like a very comfortable place to live. It's so different from where I live. I was complaining to Arlene on how difficult it is to get around. So many people and so many cars.
ReplyDeleteBoston Boy, You know I would truly be bald if I live in a big city and had to drive.LOL I would tear my hair out. I go to our small town and it's like a city at certain times. When we have our festival it's crowded and need more parking lots . LOL. I think it's fun to see others' surroundings. Have a fun weekend. Blessings to you and Arlene, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWow, Susie! I thought that bright light was a UFO that had landed lol! Love the rooster with the fancy tail feathers. The pumpkin cake sounds good for the first day of fall. Have a blessed weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen, LOL yes, that much light right on the road was a bit eerie. I am hoping the farmers can harvest without rain interruptions. Just get it done, so I can wash my windows. LOL. Hope your weekend is cooler, ours is suppose to be. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteBeautiful pictures. I catch sunset pictures often but rarely sunrise pics unless I am at the beach:) Love the chickens and crop pictures, takes me back to my childhood being raised on a farm. Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteThank you Theresa. I like looking at the harvest going on, it sure is dusty though. The fellow who farms the acreage across the road is in that big field today. When they get it done, I will wash our windows. :):) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYes, it's harvesting season! We have a cornfield here that is alternated with soy beans. This year it's corn.. The deer love it. So to the squirrels. Hope you're having a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteMissy, It's cloudy and thank goodness the wind shifted and the fellow cutting beans across the road, the wind will blow the dust away from our house. :) That's a blessing to me. I do not know if a squirrel could ever stave, do you? There's food everywhere for them. Blessings for a good day there. xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, you find the most interesting things to photograph. I love the chickens and remember how they used to scratch around Grandma's yard. Your dinner sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteNonnie, My daughter texted the next day and said, "I bet you wish you had taken some left-overs home." LOL. Yes, especially the dump cake. :):) The chicken almost seem tame , they let you walk around with them. Blessings for a sweet weekend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI was in the one of the few parts of the Carolinas that avoided Florence's bad parts.
ReplyDeleteAdam, So thankful you are okay. I am praying that the government and citizens can all help each other back to normal. There seems to be a need for more studies on hurricane aftermath. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYou have the best eye for photography, always such great shots, that’s a mighty handsome rooster !
ReplyDeleteThat Rooster took Samson's place after a few attacks from Samson on his owners. LOL. Thank you Laurie for your sweet comment. I love taking pictures and wish I had better cameras. I use my phone more than my camera at times. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh Susie living in the country like you do you have some of the most beautiful parts of nature all around you. Love all these pics you captured. Happy Weekend.
ReplyDeleteKris
Thank you Kris. I did not make it to the Horton Fall Market this weekend. Too much happening here. I plan to go this week. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThose chickens sure are cute. Susie. I love these sunrise pictures. I often see the sunrises more than the sunsets. That is a cool picture of the sun shining on the stop sign. It's as if it is telling us to slow down, stop and view these wonderful signs of nature. It's interesting to see all the harvesting going on in your area, like the soybeans. That is such a pretty picture of the crop wagon coming down the road with the sun in the distance. Pumpkin Dump Cake - sounds Yummy!
ReplyDeleteHave a splendid week coming up, Susie.
~Sheri
Thank you Sheri. The way you described the stop sign is perfect. Harvesting is long and dirty. Once all the crops get taken in, I will wash our windows. That pumpkin dump cake with a scoop of ice cream was so good. Wish you could have seen Luke eating his ice cream. So darn cute. Blessings to you and your family, love you honey, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYou got some beautiful Indiana sunshots there, Susie. I felt like I was standing right there next to you and could almost hear that BUMBLE wagon bumbling along. LOL
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a really good week. I have a busy one coming up but hope to get away for the weekend. xo Diana
Diana, We both had busy times last week. You know how I saying busy...it's lots of chores usually. Hope to see more pictures of your weekend. :) I thought the field across the road was being harvested but it was the one next to it and even next door to our neighbors too. Two soybean fields to go , right here , and I can wash windows. But rain is coming in this week...so those crops will have to wait, unless they bring in a couple crews. The kid next door likes to get right to work, thankful his uncle(Who lost his wife this year) can help him. Blessings to all of you, xoxo,love, Susie
DeleteYep looks like fall in Indiana! Did you make it to Hortons?
ReplyDeleteCindy
Oh cindy, I did not even get to pop in and out there this week. It was still going on as we went to the Elks Saturday evening, but I missed having fun there. Hope you have fun time this past weekend. The Atlanta Earth Fest was going on also. I think even the James Dean Fest in Fairmont. Blessings to you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteHappy happy Fall, my friend! I can't decide if I like the sunrise or the sunset pictures best, they are all so beautiful! I do love those chicken pictures too, they are so cute! how was your weekend?
ReplyDeleteHi Debbi, I will make a post soon. I like seeing the chicken running free. They pen them up at night. Too many varmints . Blessings, stay safe. xoxo, Susie
DeleteAll the pictures are so pretty. Loving that beautiful rooster. Wish it felt like fall here Susie. The temps are still so hot and humid and especially after a rain. I just wish I could see some pretty leaves a flying around. LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteThank you Cindy. I hope it will cool down a bit for you. I love going to the state parks to see the leaves changing. Most of our trees all turn yellow and brown...kind of boring. I love the sugar maples, they make the prettiest fall colors. Blessings to you and your husband. I truly loved seeing you dance together. xoxo, Susie
DeleteHarvest threshers on the road -- I always hate to be behind them but they are usually so polite and pull over to let you pass. This truly is fall, isn't it, Susie?
ReplyDeleteJeanie, It seems to have just arrived over night. The cooler air, the crops are brown and ready for harvest. Some trees are turning also. My flowers look awful, need to be cleaned out and some new things mixed in the containers. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
Deletebeautiful captures of the sun...i like those colorful roosters!! i am a cornfield lover!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha Debbie, I love when it's soybeans palnted in the field across the road...so I can still see a distance. But when it's corn, well that gets too tall to see very far. The Pioneer Seed company has many fields of corn in our area. My daughter's old rooster was attacking people , so they got rid of Samson and got this new pretty boy. I do not know his name. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, I was going to say a train was coming by that bright light. It is so amazing what you can see if you take the time. You certainly have a beautiful place to do just that. I love those scratching chickens. Pretty, or guess I should say handsome, rooster..Happy Fall to you my friend..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteTahnk you Judy. I hated to let summer go...even though I honestly stayed inside in the AC more than I ever have in my entire life. That part was sad. I absolutely love getting sunrises and sunsets. There's just a few days when the sun rises and sets in the middle of the road. :):) Liz's old rooster Samson got mean and attacked people so they got a new fellow in his place. :) Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat is one handsome rooster! Love the photos, and I always love watching the farmers in the fields at harvest time. The equipment they use now is so huge, it's incredible how fast they can get everything done. The soybeans are dusty, as you said, and seem to bring with them the Asian lady beetles - like the plagues in Exodus! But we contract with a company to come spray around the doors and windows of our house and garage or we would have swarms of them congregating in the corners of the ceilings. It's totally worth the money to us, for our farm has soybeans (and corn) this year. Hope you have a good day today. Love that stopsign glare from the sun. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteJudy, My daughter was plagued by "ladybugs" for a few years and finally got rid of them. I do not blame you a bit to spray for them. I can't stand bugs in my house. I leave bees, spiders, and of course buuterflies alone, if they are outside. Love the butterflies and bees. But if a spider come in the house..well I have to smash it. They scare me and make me cringe if I think it's been on me. LOL Hope you are having nice weather there. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love a beautiful sky! We are surrounded by trees so if I see a pretty sky, I'm not at home ;-) Your shots are spectacular!
ReplyDeleteOur former home was surrounded by farms. Corn would be harvested all night right outside our bedroom windows....can't say I miss that part of farm living :) Lots to love about it though and your pictures reminded me of that fact.
Doris, I have a home on both sides and a little woods in back. The field across the road is soybeans....hope they harvest when the wind is not blowing this way. It's dust, dirt, and chemicals that bother me. Hope you see some pretty skies today. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love your posts and everything looks wonderful. I love your idea thanks for sharing.
