When Fall and Winter meet...

I couldn't help but take a little drive in the country this morning 
to highlight a few of the beautiful scenes from behind my camera.

 Monday's are quiet and the country roads seem abandoned! 

Fall and Winter are my favorite seasons so when they come together... 
well, it's just simply beautiful!

These guys seemed happy to have a visitor

Many of the fields are still unharvested

I am captivated by all things "old & abandoned"
I wish I could hear the stories that the walls of this old house could tell.
Love this small outbuilding with the stone foundation.

The snow that covered the grass form this weekend is already starting to melt
underneath lay the Autumn leaves that have just recently fallen.

Danesville is an unincorporated community that I drove past and then backed up to take this shot. 
The old abandoned building back in the trees was all I saw of this "community"

I have not had a chance to do my outside cleanup in the flower beds, mainly because of my recent foot surgery, but I hear temperatures are warming up this week with highs in the 50's by Saturday. 
It seems we will get back to fall by the end of the week.

walking through a field of tractors


Last week my camera and I attended the 25th Annual Field Days in Park Rapids, Mn
It's put on by the Antique Tractor & Engine club
The lure was my love for old tractors, and anything "Yesteryear"  

I copied a list of  things going on during the weekend event....

Combining, Threshing, Tractor plowing, sawmill, people movers, shingle making Blacksmith Shop, Lath Making, Snow Fence Making, Tractor Dyno, Church Services, Tractor Displays parades, Horse Related Machinery, Vintage Implements, Stationary Gas Engines Working Displays, Barrel Train, Petting Zoo, Ice Cream & Popcorn, On the half hour giveaways, Northern Knights Car Club Old-Time Gas Station, Silent Auction.

On the grounds they also had this cute little church...

 A bonus for this "old church" loving' girl.
Remember hymnals????
Maybe some of you still use them, our church has had the projected lyrics on a screen for years! 

 A field full of tractors
Some really old 
 some not so much

 and a few cars thrown into the bunch

For you farmers out there.... what's this contraption?
Perhaps a thrashing machine????


 My eye zoomed in in this old chain.... it's seen it's days

 A little boy hopped on this wooden merry-go-round just as I was snapping the photo.

 demonstrations

This guy... 
wondering what's was going on in his mind as he walks through 
a field of old tractors and farm machinery.
