Harvest Time in Bluff Country

It's mid to late fall here in southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country and there's lots of corn and soybeans to be harvested. Our little acreage over looks the Spring Valley and in the distance the town of the same name. In between our back yard and the valley are some small fields including 14 acres of "beans."....  Take a look....
To the North, our woods, adjacent to the field.
Our friend and neighbor farmer Dick is probably scouting ahead the big machinery making sure everything else is ready to go....
View from our back yard...
From hopper to bin then off to the elevator....
 
 
Miss Lily comes out to check out the commotion but quickly decides she's seen it before and begins looking for the elusive chipmunk under our deck!!!!

  1. I imagine that being so close to the field, Lily will find a few mousies running for cover.

  3. For people who have a farm background, harvesting is an enjoyable time of year.

  4. The weather plays a big part in our lives, doesn't it? I would love to have such views outside my house.

  5. Too often we take those packages of food in the grocery store for granted. It is quite a process from the seed to the table. You have a front row seat.

  9. Amazing when you think of how harvesting crops has become so mechanized and easy. I do love reading about the old-time harvest days.

  10. You have such a wonderful place to see all the harvesting being done. Miss Lily came out to snoopervise, but that chipmunk got her attention. Thanks for the share. Have a wonderful rest of your holiday week.
