Funnel cloud formed to the northwest
of the farm.
|
|
 |
| I was working outside. |
|
 |
| It formed slowly and quietly. |
|
 |
There was no great wind
or rain here
|
|
 |
| Just bubbling clouds, moving fast |
|
 |
| It was the coolest thing... |
|
 |
But scary too
|
|
 |
I snapped the photos in a period of
less than 5 minutes |
|
 |
as it moved over the
farm northwest to southeast |
|
 |
It passed without any effect here
|
|
 |
but it did a lot of damage
east of us.(dang...)
|
|
 |
| Momma Hen and diddle... |
|
 |
Sundown on the farm...
|
|
 |
A pair of swallows raised 2 broods
of 4 babies over the summer and fall
|
|
 |
Every 5 minutes or so - they come
bring the brood a nice juicy bug.
We learned to dodge them as they
came and went - sun up to sun down! |
|
 |
Onions, garlic, shallots and field
peas
curing upstairs in the farmhouse. |
|
 |
Its too hot and humid to leave them
in the barn to cure. |
|
 |
Squash and other summer veggies
out in the big garden.
|
|
 |
Second planting of tomatoes in
the older greenhouse. (We were
still picking tomatoes for
Starr on Dec 22!)
