Tyler captured a shot of this storm rolling in. We were lucky to not experience the brunt of its badness. It produced hail in other locations, here we just got a good show.
Praying Mantis in profile! These little critters aren't so little! I couldn't believe my eyes when I glanced over at the tractor and saw this creature posing perfectly.
Wiley measured on a tractor tire! The things that are entertaining to his mind now as he sorts and orders the world. One favorite tractor tire activity is to touch all the bolts..
Ahoy!
Happy Autumnal Equinox! We can feel it in the air. Cool days with warm sun, chilly mornings and nights, and the smell of dew. The cranes are flying south. Now is a great time to see them gather in numbers! The turtles are crossing back across the roads. Watch out for them!

Market mornings start early on the farm. Jim takes the produce to Eastern and Royal Oak! It is a lot of loading, but he gets it done in good time.
The end of the market day is getting a little darker. The days are getting shorter by measure of light! Soon we will be setting up in the dark and getting home to a sunken sun.
