Way Up Yonder…Life in the Country

 

Up Yonder

 

Up here, when the neighbors come calling, it looks like this…

   Margie and Patrick caught me sitting in the middle of the field, staring at a plant I could’ve sworn was Angel Trumpet, which it was…but it’s more commonly known as Jimson Weed and is deadly poisonous.

 

 

  If I hadn’t found it on a Google search, I know my friend, Beth, could’ve told me all about it.  She’s good that way…and her pictures are a lot better, too.

 

  I stood up behind the old home place this morning, looking down toward the Lil Sister Cabin and beyond that, my cabin, thinking I could feel Fall nibbling around the edges of late Summer.  The grass is drying up. Some leaves are falling, their tips brown and crisp from days on end of heat. 

 

 

The burn pile’s waiting on the late September rains that always come, bringing with them the cooler weather that heralds another Autumn.
