Fall's a-Coming...

Half of me is ready for Christmas already, but the other half of me isn't done with summer yet.  Typically, we're all in the "Come back!" type of mood when the first gaggles of geese start flying over.  But the other day, some geese landed in their field - they're all getting ready to fly south, and when they fly south they drag winter in right on their tails.
     Anyway, we were having supper on the evening of the 23rd and somebody yelled "Noooo!" as a bunch of geese flew over.  Then a minute later: "Hey, they're landing in our field!"
     The camera came out at that point.

Last night on our way outside to finish packaging produce, I saw the sun rays shining out of the top of the clouds and couldn't resist snapping a quick picture.

This morning when I got up, it was really foggy outside.  (Seems like another thing that happens more towards the end of summer, but maybe I'm just looking for signs of fall.)
     Later in the morning, I was informed that there were a bunch of neat-looking spiderwebs built between fence rails around the animal pens, so I headed over to check it out.  While I was there, our biggest turkey was trying to act all big and impressive (and I'll admit that he is awfully pretty, especially when he puffs himself up).  By the time he turned towards me for that photo, he'd mostly settled his feathers, but he'd attracted one of the females over.
