It’s Autumn up in here! Why I love Nebraska in the fall.

 

Autumn is a very picturesque time of year here in Nebraska for a few different reasons. 

The obvious changing of the seasons with all of the colors it brings. (We have all four seasons here and sometimes in one day!  For reals.)

^{See that tree in the back just starting to turn colors?}

But, also harvest time with all of the wonderful opportunities to see our state’s number 1 industry, Agriculture, in full swing.  The event all farmers work toward all year long. 

^{This field will be barren the next time I drive by.}

It’s impressive to see how family farms and their crews bring in their crop every year.  These farmers work non-stop for weeks on end, sometimes all night long.  I meant to take more of those pictures this fall of all of the machinery & people out in the fields.  Hopefully, I will have time to do this again, so that I can share it here with you before it’s all over.

I always get an extra burst of energy during Autumn.  Perhaps it’s that extra “umph” to get things done before we are all snowed in and hibernating.  I still recall all of the fun fall school events like home football games, marching band, traveling to games (with the band), bonfires and Homecoming. 

I still like to be out and about in Autumn.  Looking at beautiful things and exploring and I love taking my kids along, when I can, for that discovery, too.
