I KNOW SO BECAUSE THE CRICKETS TOLD ME SO

Another pleasant late August morning and oh how I love the calmness in the air as summer's hot sweltering days thankfully are beginning to show signs of sliding off into the past. (except for this afternoon's brutal humidity) The mystique of Autumn's colorful days are just around the corner and I know so because the Crickets told me so.  Pheebs and I did half of our half-mile walk this morning and she was glad to get back to the car for a doggy treat that she knows always awaits her.  We dusted up a few country roads and were soon home again just as the air's humidity became too oppressive.  As it turned out, it was also too hot and humid for an afternoon walk......Tomorrow, we have company coming:))  

THESE ARE BUSY LATE AUGUST DAYS FOR AREA FARMERS

 A TRACTOR TOWING A HAY RAKE THAT RAKES UP THE NEWLY MOWN GRASS INTO A HIGHER PILE MAKING IT EASIER FOR A BALING MACHINE TO SWEEP THE GRASS UP INSIDE IT AND TURN THE LOOSE HAY INTO BALES

 LOOKS LIKE THIS FELLA HAS A HANDFUL OF BINDER TWINE

 I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT TOWED YELLOW MACHINE DOES

 I THINK IT'S SAFE TO CALL THIS CORN GROWING IN A BEANFIELD.....A CORNY BEANFIELD

  BEANFIELD LEAVES ARE BEGINNING TO TURN YELLOW

Al's Music Box:)) Along The Navajo Trail by the Sons Of The Pioneers is a country song, written by Dick Charles, Larry Markes, and Eddie DeLange in 1945, and first recorded by Dinah Shore in May of 1945.  It was the title song of the 1945 Roy Rogers film Along the Navajo Trail. It was also used in the 1945 film 'Don't Fence Me In' when it was sung by Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers.  Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.

A LONE AND VERY SAD LITTLE SUNFLOWER IN A FIELD OF BEANS

GROANER'S CORNER:(( - One minute you are young and cool, maybe even a little dangerous, and the next minute you are reading Amazon reviews about birdseed.

- I just found out the neighborhood had a meeting about the crazy person on our block.  It's weird how they didn't invite me.

  

- The way my eyesight is these day don't ever assume I saw you.

- You see, people don't want to hear your opinion.  They want to hear their opinion coming out of your mouth.

- If you wait long enough to cook dinner, everyone will eat cereal.  Follow me for more recipes.

 

- One day I was born.  Then everything bothered me.  And that brings me up to date.

- Imagine my tension between wanting to clean out my closet and the possibility that one day 3 years from now I might want to wear the shirt I hate that's never seen the light of day.
