Are you ready for the fall

[tifflunn]

Well with Martys thread in mind - I have been seriously wishing the fall here- but I was also remembering last year we really didn't get our usual fall leaf turning season because the leaves just would not die. Then we had a pretty bad ice/snow storm hit the area in mid october which took alot of the trees and leaves- so no fall leaf turning season last year. Well went to feed the horses this morning and look what I saw :new_shocked: :bgrin

So had to go back in and get the camera and took these- I think it is pretty early- but it has been really dry this summer in our area.

:bgrin

Fall's comin and this is the time to get things ready before it gets too cold to want to work out in it. I am planning a cobweb attack this next week, I just put up the heated buckets with the safety brackets (they aren't plugged in but ready), I am putting up my hay week by week 24 bales at a time, I've cleaned out the paddocks, I have to strip and rebed my huge run in shed (NOT a great job PU), and am putting in x # of baled shaving weekly (expensive :new_shocked: $5.60 ea) as I use 3/wk. Anything else we should be preparing? OH..the walk/loaf areas I am putting down MORE footing so it isn't squishy and muddy or icy when the time comes.

We moved from Wisconsin to East Texas and we love it! Some summers are killers but the fall and winter cant be beat. I guess it is time to start putting up hay, fall is right around the corner.

Beautiful trees and scenery, Tiff. We're not experiencing any changes yet, and probably won't for about another month. I'm certainly ready for a change. It's just been too darn hot. Today were up to 96 and that's not including the heat index. We have warnings all over the place about not being out in this weather...etc...etc...etc... It's really very stifling.

Sterling- Its a coming I swear yesturday everything was green :bgrin

Marty- I wish I could send it your way :bgrin

Nootka - YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! :bgrin :bgrin

Everyone else seems to be falling in step with the saesons- I think it is happening to fast this year :bgrin

tiff: NO!

I refuse to go. Unh-unh! NOPE.

Summer. At least two more months' worth.

I can't complain about 70-80 degree days and 55 degree nights. What's the rest of ya'lls problems? :bgrin
