All harvests are over around here - fields all empty and plowed under - except a little regrowth of sorghum because of all the recent rain. The floods of Harvey came in the middle of the cotton harvest so I imagine a lot of it was lost. I am ready for the growing season to be over. There is plenty of grass in the pastures to last the winter and I am tired of shredding the paddocks around the house and barn to keep things looking decent. I need to move the older cows to the NE (triangular) pasture today; it needs more grazing than the pensioner horses are providing - as soon as I check the hot wire which has been unreliable this summer. No heifers going in there!

We are finally having some more fall-like weather. The high this week is predicted to be 80; I thought we were stuck with 90s forever!
