The flood plain is probably full by now - but I couldn't see it for fog this morning!<br />But farming goes on. I think non-farmers often forget that.MorningAJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719744167307369768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-67293985059457529002010-10-04T01:08:33.759-07:002010-10-04T01:08:33.759-07:00Thanks for replying.

Oh how I wish we could do as TFE siggests - I don't think I can stand another bad winter and I did read an article the other day written by a beekeeper - she said that from the way the bees are performing at present she thinks this winter will be worse than last year. We shall see. If it is I shall retire to the fireside for the duration.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-58587237606210083362010-10-04T00:21:20.546-07:002010-10-04T00:21:20.546-07:00Picture #1 is all that I remember about Britain.

Here we have finally had a warm day and sat outside drinking champagne and eating a sea food salad for my birthday, but it will get warm too quickly I fear.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14177627504060328999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-82675378385519503982010-10-03T14:27:29.546-07:002010-10-03T14:27:29.546-07:00With the challenges of winter and rain, it's n...With the challenges of winter and rain, it's nice to know there are still wonders like those magnificent sunsets.

The farmer and his colleagues have to be all-weather operators which can make a hard job even harder. The fields and stock look well cared for and that sunset is glorious. We are surrounded by trees and other houses, and hardly see any sky unless we walk up the road!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-26292782933799413702010-10-03T10:51:02.113-07:002010-10-03T10:51:02.113-07:00Here on Long Island we are just getting over the w...Here on Long Island we are just getting over the worst summer drought that I can remember. It is finally starting to rain, and the suburban lawns are turning green again. I am bringing my tender plants into the house for a few months, until spring. They have enjoyed their vacation and grown very large.

We have sandstone under us so with the wind things have dried out fairly well.<br />...TrampTramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10367405984066895755noreply@blogger.com
