Pics from Clinton Camp Farm this evening.

If you are a farm guy or gal, you will know what I am talking about when a hot August day turnes to evening. The smells are incredable. The smell of tasseled corn, fresh cut alfalfa, the smells from the edges of the woods from wild asters and goldenrod, and the smell in the woods,of the pines, and other trees, as the sunlight drops over the horizon, and the cooling evening breezes pick up these smells and carry them your way. What a great time of the year.
The wifey and I took a ride around the upper "40" tonight with the Chebby woodgetter. Hope you enjoy the pics. It doesn't get much better than this for us. Harvest season is the best.

You all don't claim NY City, and I don't blame you.
Those are mighty fine looking oats! How much do they weigh per bushel?
I know they say 32 pounds per bushel, but I have hauled oats that wuz up to 45 lbs. per bushel.

Great looking crops and beautiful country! And I know eggzactly what you mean about late summer! The old house we lived in for 25 years was not air conditioned,so we slept with the windows open. The manufactured house we now live in is so well insulated that you can't hear the sounds of the night, so sometimes I open my bedroom window and just lay there and listen to nature's night time music festival.

Beautiful pictures, Thank You for sharing.

PS: You don't have to be a farm guy or gal to appreciate the beauty, sights, sounds, & smells of the countryside. I was born & raised in the city (and couldn't wait to get out) and I've been a country boy at heart all of my life. Even been back to the family farm in Virginia (and loved it).
