Walking Iten's Acres: Chilly in October October 4, 2015

Chilly wet day at The Acres. The phlox, hibiscus, and annuals don't seem to mind. And, of course, the wild flowers. The monk's hood and hardy cyclamen have just started to bloom actually. I'm still waiting for the fall crocus. I even have an iris with buds on it. Still not much in the leaf changing category. The dogwoods some. And the poison ivy is brilliant red. I was going to work outside all day today, but I'm leaning toward wimping out. The Backroads of Morrow County have edged toward harvest time. Lots of the soy beans are gone. Just a little of the corn. Lots of green and red monsters sitting in the fields. One farmer has already taken in his beans and plowed all his fields. Maybe he planted something, but I can't imagine what. Even if I don't "work" I will have to take a couple of walks naturally. Can't completely waste a Saturday!
