We've been spoiled up until this point, with warmer than usual days, many not requiring the wearing of a jacket.
The last few pleasant days of Autumn, with sunshine aplenty.
Last night, the temperatures fell into the thirties, no more flip-flops, now the winter boots and woolly socks appear.
Mother Nature sprinkled the landscape with frost, just enough to decorate for the season.
The birds have taken to their nests, the turkeys lead their flocks to the nightly roost.
Winter days will soon be here, but in just 119 short days, Spring will once again return.
“The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly changes from the summer cottons into its winter wools.”

The weather vane is wonderful and so are the dramatic skies. Luv the wild turkey and the cute bird peeking out of his/her house. And Jane Eyre!!
There were snow flurries here this morning. Winter's arriving too early.
Such different scenery from us but the same is happening here. No turkeys, just goats. Definitely woolly socks and nightly fires. Lovely winter
Jo, we haven't started a fire in the fireplace yet... but the mornings are definitely cooler and jackets needed. And we have turned on the heat lamps at night on the porch for the feral cats.
Your pictures are simply beautiful and so are your words. The Jane Eyre book, my favorite book and movie.
Wild turkeys were introduced in Iowa on my Uncle and Aunts farm in Chariton, Iowa area, years ago. Now the state is covered with them as they spread state wide and to other states too.
