Flying into Fall

Got a slow, but noisy rain shower this morning. Perfect moisture for the pasture grass, and the growing maze and pumpkins. Fall has crept up on us with the lower temperatures and shorter days.

We've been busy getting signs and activities ready for the start of our maze, so all doing work inside today. We'll start hanging out the haunted trail decorations tomorrow if weather cooperates.

Noticed that bird flocks have been traveling through the area alot now. I took my camera with me to check the water tank the other day, and the birds hung on the fence wire, drooping it down with their combined weight. The birds like to stop by the herd for food- flies and insects in the pasture and manure, so both are part of the cycle of nature we see daily.

Such different weather, both by looks and feel than a week or two ago, and it will change rapidly as we move into October. The calves have lost their baby wool and are growing their first winter coat to get ready for the cooler season too.

Where did the summer go?
