Yellow and Red

Here are some recent Across the Road photos. If I can't have my own 100's of acres then at least I get to pretend by living right across the road from bigger farmland.

Sunflower in the making.

I have some weaving plans to incorporate these colors but haven't had time to get to it.

The tomatoes were harvested last week.

These are canning tomatoes.

This was the aftermath. There were plants at the ends of some rows and at the edges of the field that were toppled over but not harvested.

I gleaned 22 pounds on one walk and picked up black walnuts for dyeing as well.

Tomatoes in one pot and weeping willow leaves in the other.

Shadow Pictures

Right now I'm sitting at my desk with one Border Collie (Rusty) at my feet under the desk and the other behind the chair. Ginny has never been gun shy or afraid of things in the sky but this thunderstorm has her rattled too. Rusty is terrified. So I left the loom where I was weaving and I'll wait it out with them. We don't often have thunderstorms here. I had planned to write this blog post about our walk Across the Road in yesterday's sunshine.

Guess who with something in her mouth?

Ginny watches the Ball and Rusty watches Ginny.

Ginny constantly drops the ball in the water but this year she gets herself. Last year I was fishing it out for her.

I don't say much about Maggie because she usually wanders ahead and does her own thing out of range of the camera. I called her over to get a photo.

The late afternoon sun gives light to other subjects as well.

Ginny found a ball that we lost at some point in the tall grass. Now the grass is gone and she saw it in a dried tractor track. It's a good thing because the ball on the right isn't in very good shape at this point.
