Thought I had better get some autumn photos posted before it’s winter!!  It’s been so beautiful I just hate to think about the cold that is soon to arrive.

This was such a unique sound that I hadn’t heard before on our early morning walks. What made it even more interesting was that I had been on the phone the previous day to Dell support in India. When you have their support they “take over” your computer and in no time it’s running again like new!! Amazing, I highly recommend Dell computers and support. The tech saw my home screen and comment how beautiful it was and if that’s where I lived. That started a great conversations about our countries, one of the things he told me about were the monkeys and other wildlife. The first thing I thought about when I heard this sound coming from the trees, monkeys! Of course I know there are no wild monkeys in Kansas. I recorded the sound and sent it to my son. He told me they were Barred owls. It certainly is awesome to hear, I haven’t seen them yet but hopefully we will.

Officially the first day of summer, it arrived last night at 10:31pm.  It certainly doesn’t feel like summer, it’s only in the mid 80’s.  After a week of scorching temperatures, our high was 106.  That was hot.  Wheat harvest has started, but was slowed a bit today after some showers last night.

The sky was so blue with bright puffy clouds.  Just had to get out!!
