Oh dear Cecilia, these are great. But you can guess which one impressed me so much!!!!! The last one! This is SO BEAUTIFUL… whose this, who put it there,,, is this yours? What a beautiful thing; the photograph, the bird, the meaning of this… Fascinated me in many ways. Thank you dear Cecilia. Have a nice weekend, with my love, nia
We have piles of wild birds here but it is the little sparrows who stick with me through thick and thin, all the freezing winter long so i feed them in the winter. c
On the thousand-word principle, given this and so many of your wonderful visual posts, I guess you’re covered for a lifetime’s worth of blogging commitment. So forget that principle, please, because although I adore your photos I think I live on your text just that much more!! Happy Friday, darling! 😀
It is relaxing just to look for a change isn’t it.. I hope my little bird feeder lasts another winter as you are right it is such a fancy wee thing.. c
Words couldn’t express the beauty you’ve shown in your photos anyway! I posted a story today about a chinese rainbow salad as I’ve been taking my inspiration from your posts, it’s my way of saying thank you for sharing your lovely stories and ideas!
Funny how, no matter where in the world or country you are, there are certain scenes that look the same everywhere! I think that the corn will be done here in the next week or so. Many are done already – and the soy beans have been done for a couple weeks. I enjoy watching the seasons pass through the farmer’s eyes!
I know gretchen, corn and beans are not the most imaginative crops are they, and soon you and i will just have miles of empty land for months and months, except for our little paddocks that is! c
You call that a garden? I can hardly wait to see the size of your honey bees…Oh, by the way, Daisy said to tell you, if you’d of put that run of airplane wing fence on her neck again, she would have harvested that sweet corn for you with minimal fuel cost, while fertilizing your field for free.
Bless You

I recently watched as two Amish men harvested corn in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The horses, guided by the men, were pulling a gas powered harvester. It was an interesting sight.
Yay, félicitations on the harvest and the pictures. The maize (corn ) harvest began here about three weeks ago but there are a few fields still standing. We don’t wash the car until it’s all finished, as the roads are awash with mud at this time.
Kinda off the topic, but have you noticed that there’s nothing that gives a kid greater pleasure than large vehicles? Then they grow up and consider those that work using those large vehicles not as important in society. Kinda odd, isn’t it?
Now that you say it like that you are so right Rumpy’s Mum. Johns kids think farmers are at the bottom of the heap. I try to tell them that to even buy a door of one of these vehicles you have to be seriously well off.. not to mention owning the semi’s that turn up to take the corn away.. This is why most landowners (Johns family) have to rent their land to the guys that have the money to farm it. Of course I think they should give up and put it all back into grass for the good of the earth, but oh well, one acre at a time!! c

Beautiful photos! Such a sign of fall! Love all, but especially the last one! Birdies are favorites in our household!

Yeah, I enjoy the empty fields, too – It just takes me awhile to adjust to the fact that suddenly the horizon has become 7 feet lower!

Wow. That is quite a machine and quite a harvest!

Pennsylvania, I need to get up there,Robin, that must have been a curious mixture of periods! Thank you for letting us know about that.. c
Great photos – especially the last one. And “Bless You” … I´d have been in sneezing hell!
It gets on your face too, I have a kind of lightly burnt sensation on my skin.. Thank god it is not blowing.. welcome back chica/tanya! c

Isn’t the dust just awful, we are covered in it.. everyone will be showering a couple of times today! c
