Autumn Is Definately Here!

Good morning everybody. I got a little carried away with the pics today! I went out to a pumpkin patch today, which is about 4 miles or so from my mother's house. I stopped by and picked her up before I went out there, because I know she likes to get out of the house every once in a while. I bought my pumpkins there last year as well.
As you can see in the upper right-hand corner, all the big ones grew laying on their sides, so they wouldn't have really been good for jack-o-lanterns. Last year he had enormous pumpkins, but he said this year they just didn't grow properly. The big one he had in his front yard last year weighed 180 pounds! He said the biggest one he had this year was about 120 pounds, but again, it was on it's side like the others. I have gotten into playing around with photoshop. Can you tell? LOL
They have started harvesting already. I was leaving Mom's house, driving down her extremely long driveway when I took this pic. There is actually another combine directly behind this one, just well hidden. They were harvesting soybeans.
These wildflowers/weeds were in the corner of a field after crossing the railroad tracks on my way home from Mom's. These little purple flowers are along several ditches. Up close, they kind of look like mini daisies.
This is the same barn that is in the last post. The same one that I forgot where it was! I caught this shot from a different road.

This was the sky yesterday. It was overcast and dreary all day, but never rained until we had gone to bed, but even then, it was a very light rain. There was very little water in the raccoon dish this morning.
More harvesting. This was all out near my mother's house.
I was playing around with photoshop on this one again. Only the center of the picture has any color, just like the one of the pumpkins.
A better shot of the turning of the leaves. I just love autumn leaves. When I lived in Florida, I never really saw leaves turn. Just die and fall off the trees.
This is the same picture, just more photoshop playing. This is "lighting effects".

My pigs, I mean squirrels, seem to eat just about anything I put out there. I just happened to catch this guy with the apple in his mouth.
Then he carried the entire thing up the tree. He must have some strong little jaws to be able to carry something that big without dropping it.
Here's my hairball, Salem, in his basket as usual. He was looking up at me like he was telling me to leave him alone. This was the third picture I took of him with the flash on, so I woke him from his beauty sleep!
Just another autumn leaves pic.
Believe it or not, these petunias just started blooming last week! I planted seed indoors in the middle of spring, and when it got warm enough outside, I dumped everything in the planter box beside my front door. Nothing had even thought of sprouting until August! Only 2 plants came up after all that, and only one of them has blooms.

Gonna scoot for now and get to bed. I already fell asleep watching TV earlier. I never have enough sense to go to bed at a decent time.

Everybody have a great day and I will see you soon.

Love Ya
