A bit worried about the grazing for winter as there is hardly any green on the fields at all. Not to worry, rain will turn up sometime. And at least we have a barn full of hay to help us through. <br />Lovely sunflowers.

Farmers here in Hungary have also been desperate for rain for some time now and the days here still continue to be warm with very little rain.<br /><br />Your sunflowers look very jolly indeed. Yes, Autumn shall soon be with us in earnest, but those big yellow faces on your sunflowers will brighten up any day!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
