Harvest time

It is harvest time here.  Peanut harvest is done, they are now harvesting cotton and soybeans.  Bro. Weatherford is going to take us out so we can pick our own cotton. I love seeing the fields of white cotton - they call it South Carolina snow.  The fields are surrounded by trees - lots of them!

 The Camillia bushes are blossoming, mums are still in full bloom.  There is such a variety.  It isn’t unusual to see 3-5 trees growing together as one and it makes for a very interesting scene.  Leaves are starting to turn.  The colors aren’t as brilliant as New England, but the colors blend beautifully and give such a peaceful and serene feeling.


This is a scene across the road from our house.  The colors didn't show up as intense as it was, but I still love it.  The tree on the left looks like it has clusters of grapes hanging all over it.
