I tried to get some decent foliage pictures, but the trees are not cooperating. This one is overlooking the pastures at the Richfield Farm
The cows were very interested in what I was doing. I also had the dogs with me and the cows were on alert to protect the calf 'Tommy"! Tommy was the calf that was born and caused all the trouble with Mick's torn ACL.
Here is Chris, hard at work in the combine, picking soybeans.
Tommy, our farm manager, is checking the beans as they are unloaded into the grain bins for storage.
The corn is almost ready for picking.
My DIL Tiffany decided that we needed to make caramel apples. Dave loves those gourmet ones that have all the stuff on them and you have to cut them with a knife to eat them. We decided that we could do just as nice of a job. We found a recipe on line at
www.werthers-original.us Their caramels are so much better than the old square ones we used to use. The recipe was easy to follow and the apples turned out delicious. I wanted candied apples, so we also made a batch of those. All together we made about 3 dozen apples. Tiffany will take most of them to school on Monday, for her teacher friends. The rest we will eat here. They do not store well so we are eating them up!

Hi! Just found you by way of Angie at The Arthur Clan. Fall foliage seems to be eluding us here in PA too. Went out for a shoot on Thursday and came back with only a couple decent pics. Seems that we didn't have the right balance of moisture and heat this summer to produce the vibrant colors we are looking for. Anyway, I just wanted to say "hi" to another dog lover/photographer/nature lover.
Hope you have a good Sunday.
We have a field right up the road from our house and the kids and I are always fascinated when those big combines show up to harvest the crop. We could watch them for hours!
And I just have to say that I am literally drooling over your picture of the caramel apple....YUMMY. Wow!
Autumn colors hit this weekend!!! Just need some sunshine to make the pictures more interesting. Has it gotten anymore colorful where you are yet?
