Happy Fall!
Here are some pictures of our new house
in Marshall. We have two barns and
lots and lots of fields surrounding us.
It's fun to watch the seasons change
with the crops in the fields and see all
the wildlife here. The cardinals,
especially, are beautiful and fun to
watch.
The second picture was taken from
upstairs, near the computer desk. This
is my view as I work at the computer.
It's lovely, isn't it?
These pictures were taken in the
summer. Now the fields in the last
picture are all golden and light brown,
awaiting harvest. We've been enjoying
beautiful harvest moons the last few
nights.
As I drove home a few nights ago, I was
marveling at all the color that was
beginning to show. The plum brown
color of flowery weeds bobbing on their
dark green stems, the green and gold
of the cornfields, standing patiently,
waiting for the harvester, the wash of
gold gilding across the soybean fields,
with the summer green still below it.
There are hints of color on many trees
now, like actors waiting in the wings,
to burst upon the stage in full costume
for the fall play. It is so beautiful
already, I am in awe and waiting
impatiently for the snap of a cold fall
day, a pile of leaves to stomp in and the
fun of a new wardrobe of hats, mittens,
scarves and boots.
Hurray for Fall!
