Scenes of Late August

Life in Christian County, Kentucky...




Tobacco barn
Smoke in the barns
Skittles
Languid in the warmth


Sycamore tree
Yellow in the cottonwood leaves
Sassafras
Red in the sassafras

It was gray and almost foggy in places when I was taking these photos, but later the sun came out and the sky was blue and the temperature was comfortable -- not too hot! There was a hint of autumn about the whole day.

Smoke in the barns, is that the tobacco barn?

It is a tobacco barn, and it's one of hundreds in the county right now that are being used to fire the dark tobacco. The farmers lay sawdust and hardwood slabs in trenches in the floor and let them smolder in the tightly closed barn. The smoke colors and flavors the leaf.

CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.

IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
(Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1867-1957)
