Fabulous Friday

Posted on October 9, 2020 by Marla Rose

Clint sent me some great photos while I was at work. The pics from the bin tops are always so cool… but I prefer he just hold on!

Supper was grilled pork cutlets and porkburgers.

Our Friday Night Lights:

I hope you had a fabulous Friday, friends!

Beans are (almost) DONE!

Posted on October 9, 2020 by Marla Rose

Clint took some pics for me while I was at work. They were knocking out beans! Only a small patch of beans remain that aren’t yet ready.

It was a beautiful fall day. It clouded over a bit toward evening. I barely caught the sunset.

Celebrate something you (almost) complete!

Wednesday on the road

Posted on October 7, 2020 by Marla Rose

I took off work this afternoon for an appointment, then ran errands, and had another appointment. After delivering sandwiches to the crew, I came home to catch up on a couple of things before I got called out to help run field errands. Today’s pictures were all taken from the truck window.

I love old barns.
Think of the stories they could tell!

Dear friends, don’t miss what is right outside your window!

Until tomorrow.

Tuesday, October 6th

Posted on October 7, 2020 by Marla Rose

A beautiful, busy day. It’s getting dark too early, tho! It was almost dark when I delivered grilled barnyard burgers. These burgers are a delicious combination of ground chicken breast, bacon, and cheese. We are fortunate to have excellent choices for quality meat in our small towns.

Enjoy a good local product today, my friends!

October 5, 2020 – 1st Frost

Posted on October 5, 2020 by Marla Rose

It seems way too early, but it was cold and clear with a frosty start to the morning.

Clint took photos from the combine cab for me while I was at work. I love the view from this field – you can see for miles!

I had a hair appointment after work. So, the crew got lucky because I brought Druby’s home for supper! Druby’s is a favorite little hometown burger joint.

I hope you enjoy a favorite hometown restaurant, too!

Relaxing Sunday

Posted on October 4, 2020 by Marla Rose

Coffee time, church, a quiet lunch at home, a nap!, crop-scouting drive, and dinner with the in-laws: grilled chicken, roasted red potatoes, green beans, and watermelon. It was the kind of day that makes you want to repeat it tomorrow. But, that’s not gonna happen!

Friends, I hope you have more relaxing Sundays than not!

Saturday, October 3

Posted on October 4, 2020 by Marla Rose

These pictures are compliments of the farmer himself!

This is from Friday. We have two bean heads, so Clint’s dad drives a combine too.

Saturday morning was too damp for beans, so they switched to corn. The sun played across the landscape for a brief time.

I visited a local family’s fall festival with my beautiful, fun, spunky daughter-in-law!

By late afternoon, it was raining enough that they had to stop. Therefore, supper was at the Mexican restaurant with our friends!

It was a great day, here in central Illinois. I hope yours was too!
