Late Summer in the South

Proverbs 30:25 Ants are creatures of little strength,yet they store up their food in the summer.

Late summer has arrived! Here are just a few pictures.

Soy Bean Fields:



Scuppernong Grapes almost ready to pick.




Corn fields recently harvested:



Tobacco Leaves hanging down. Their days are numbered! Before long there will only be the green stalks left.

Thank you for sharing a picture of this southern summer with us. Indiana is pretty much the same except no tobacco here. My son is on Nicorette and I am so proud of him. He's been on it for 4 years I imagine. I'm thankful for that. Have a good day! We are still having hot hot days here and I'm looking forward to fall.

I love the pictures. My grandparents on both sides raised tobacco in North Carolina. I still remember the tobacco barns.

We're still getting into the 90s here. I'm hoping for cool weather that sticks around for a while.

Wonderful pictures, Debbie. Oh, the memories!

And, oh, how I would love some scuppernongs. We had a huge vine of those out back of the homeplace farmhouse.

Take care.
