Ed Kennell 38,178 #1 Posted September 22 After getting those Cortisone shots in each knee on Monday, I decided to walk instead of riding around the Amish farm. The cantaloupe harvest is over and the thousands remaining are ground up for fertilizer. The cabbage has been harvested. The horses are being treated to a few remaining ears of sweet corn. The soy beans are starting to turn. Still have pumpkins , broccoli, and cauliflower. to harvest. Hickory nuts and acorns are everywhere. 8 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,891 #4 Posted September 22 All the geese are congregating and flying formations. Corn is being chopped like the market’s closing down. I saw one swipe of beans get chopped down the road end of week last week. Different deer are on trail cams. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MainelyWheelhorse 453 #9 Posted September 22 (edited) Summers over. I’m in a state of depression. I’m just kidding though, Fall and winter have their good parts. Edited September 22 by MainelyWheelhorse 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm WAY more comfortable below 60⁰, 65⁰ down to about 25⁰ or even less. 🤔 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 7,306 #14 Posted September 23 With Fall approaching the penguins are following their migration route past my house. Due to over breeding half now walk while the rest take a conveyance powered by animals they force into service. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 7,006 #15 Posted September 23 Yup. Fall is here. Geese are flying over, the underbrush and a few maples are starting to turn. Lots of gunshots in the distance this weekend. Baltimore oerials and humming birds seem to have moved on. Acorns are falling like rain. Several of our neighbors have metal roofs - gets kind of noisy when the wind blows. Corn and beans are drying out. Potato harvester equipment is making the rounds in the potato fields. My brother in law lives on a river about an hour north of us. Goose season is open, and the hunters are out on the river. Their house and their neighbor's place have been 'sprinkled' with shot a couple of times. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have heard of businesses and houses getting hit too. I used to work at a small country store here that had a bullet go through an entry way window. No one was hurt though. Despite that, I don’t mind hunting season, it brings money to the State and population control to the wildlife population. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't even go out in the forest on our own property to gather firewood without having Orange on in some form. I have hiking shirts that are safety orange as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 9,064 #24 Posted September 26 Yup, fall is here definitely. How to estimate - we have no penguins here as sign of fall. two simple signs .... Temps don’t rises they just - fall - that simple 🤪😂 Lot’s of quotations for droneflights But now not for fawn saving - they want inspection flights over the Cornfields if and where boars are in. that is for me the sign - fall is here. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 12,063 #25 Posted September 26 Leaves haven’t started to turn much yet in NC, but the mowing intervals have dropped to once every two weeks. Much of the grass is turning yellow as well. I am no fan of cold, but I certainly don’t mind a break. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
