They've been busy in the fields over the last few days. Maize cropping time & ploughing.
Luckily the weather has been dry & sunny so no muck on the roads off the tyres much to everyone's relief!
I know this collage would be better with the top sliced off the bottom photo but haven't the time or inclination at the moment.
Three good things:
1. I have lit my Rhubarb & Ginger candle. I bought it in Cambridge NZ in March so thought I would try it before I went again. It's in a rather nice enamel pudding bowl so will be useful after for the odd small pudding.
2. All change on the guest front tonight, it's good to meet new people!
3. Fly swatters to kill the sluggish flies hanging around at the moment.
While I know these shots were taken in your neck of the woods, they could just as easily pass for my area of Eastern Ontario.
A beautiful collage of farming life and a FAV!
A super collage of beautiful rural England -- each scene beautiful in its own right ! Hope you enjoy the aroma of the candle - funnily enough I lit a spicy red candle at the weekend -- one I had last Christmas and is in a glass jar !
@farmreporter or nz but the it here end with cutting the grass for silage and working up the paddock for cropping.. great set of pics Pat. Candle sounds lovely.. have a bit of an addiction to candles love the wooden wick ones .. they crackle and pop..
Fav - I love this. The maize in France was not harvested but all dried up in comparison with what we saw still growing and green in Suffolk last week. (I'm trying to work out what 'odd' puddings are made from?!!!)
@quietpurplehaze Ha ha I wonder that myself! Funnily enough maize when it goes all brown & dry like that is supposed to be better for cows, might be something to do with the sugars. A bit of frost does wonders I believe,
@julzmaioro Wooden wick ones, that sounds interesting Julz! I only think candles when the autumn comes. Have you heard that theory re maize better for cows when frost bitten & dried up! Some here wait until it looks practically dead before cropping. The only thing then is you get mud so ey like to cut it here in the better weather as long as it's cobbed up.
Its all busy busy on the farming front! All those big machines powering on getting ready for winter. Rhubarb smell? Not sure about that! Or is that the name of the Company that makes them?
I love this collage of your beautiful rural countryside. Good that the weather has been cooperating for a mud free plowing.
Enjoy your new B&B guests, Pat! I know they will love their accommodations and their hostess and host!
