Late Summer Drive

These golden days of late summer are perfect for taking a little drive. 

So come along with me as we pass through the gate and enjoy the countryside. 

This is a favorite road that I sometimes take when I do my weekly marketing. 

It is a lovely road full of farms and fields. 

The fresh cut hayfields are greening up once more and there is just a hint of fall color in the foliage.

Don't you just love sunflowers? 

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have armloads of sunflowers to take inside?

We'll just have to 'settle' for a bouquet of Dahlias. 

It's so hard to choose. Which one do you like?

Such amazingness! I know that is not a word, but it somehow fits!

Flowering Fireworks.

The corn is getting high and this garden has plenty. I wonder how they keep the deer and raccoons out!

This house sits along a little air strip. I would not like to mow this every week!

A field of cattle grazes next to a very long fence. 

More sunflowers growing by this vintage barn. It's nice to imagine the person who planted them. Did they know how many smiles they would get from passers by? 

This field of horses caught my eye. Let's take a closer look....

There's a proud mare! 

This little house is for sale....

Don't you love the little mural? This is the view across the street. 

This homemade fence is dwarfed by these tall Douglas Fir at the edge of a raspberry field. 

And this homemade fence was fashioned from the fallen branches of a tree felled by wind. 

I do believe there are faces in the trunks of these trees! 

We've had a lovely drive, but it's time to head for home. 

The shadows are getting long. 

Thank you for coming along with me! 

Today I am joining Friday's Fences

I want to thank each and every one of you for your very kind and heartfelt comments on my last post. 

It means so much to have such caring friends. 

Oh, it's great to have a friend

like you along life's weary road,

One who is always kind and true, 

to help me bear my load.

It's great to have a friend like you

while traveling here below,

One who tries to help me through

as on my way I go.

It's great to have a friend like you

as I journey through this life;

I thank you now for all you do

to banish doubt and strife.

I'd like to have more friends like you-

true-blue until the end;

And if my wish will e'er come true-

I shall be such a friend.

xoxo
