Indiana Farm

An Indiana Farm in the dawn's early light...

Late Summer Reflections

Late summer is reflected in a bayou of the Kankakee River. This area is full of small fish and wildlife.

Buckeye's not Choosy

Some butterflies are pretty particular about host plants. Buckeye Butterflies are not that choosy, which may be the reason that, despite the wickedly wild and hot weather we've had this year, there seems to be a record number of these butterflies.

Remember the Jobless on Labor Day

There are many families who can't afford to have a burger on the grill this Labor Day. Over 15 million in this country are unemployed and have been for a long time. So before you go out to that holiday celebration show your support by tweeting, liking, or donating to these sites or post one of your own.

Ucubed

And make sure your congressman or woman knows where you stand on the issue of jobs. It's hard to celebrate Labor Day when so many are suffering the degradation of unemployment.

Last of Summer

The last of summer is blooming at the Sunset Hill Farm County Park. Here a sunflower planted in the community garden faces the early morning sunrise with a fiery face.  

Grasshopper Crop

Indiana farmers are experiencing a bumper crop year---great news in these times.

Indiana is also experiencing a great crop of grasshoppers. This one showed up in my garden missing an antenna.    

Fields of Gold

Stretching all the way to the horizon and pointing the way to autumn an Indiana field of golden flowers provides food and habitat for all kinds of creatures including wild turkeys.
