Patchwork

I think that maybe this years leaves are not as beautiful as they have been in the past.  Maybe it was because the summer was so hot.  We still have Oak trees that have not turned and of course the yellow Poplars are the first to lose their leaves, so it seems a little scattered this year.



But, you can always find some Red Maples trees to get your heart pumping.  These are my favorite....or my favorite today.


This was the beginning of Poplar Springs Farm.  This is the horse barn that you have seen previously.  The small building in the lower right is an old canning/smoke house.  The bottom half is made of rock and it is probably a hundred years or older.  Steve lived in the cabin that you can barely see through the trees until we built the big house.






The big house is where we and all our dogs live!  It is a very happy house when all the grandsons come to visit. 



 Taken from the upper pasture and looking down on the Del Rio Valley and one of my favorite views.

Hmmmm.   Add a little snow and this could almost look like Christmas.


Red Maples are my favorite until I run across the "pink" and yellow ones.  


Even the cows could not resist being in the picture with the beautiful scenery.  I tried to get one without him, but he would not move.  And I did not feel like chasing him.  Besides, this is a cattle farm.
