this seasons colors

The crops are all reaching the end of their lifespans, corn stalks turning brown, golden heads on rice, yellow soy and peanut leaves, millet stalks golden with red tops. Yet the rains have not quite stopped yet, (although we might have gotten the last drizzle last week), so the grass, and general vegetation is still green here. This makes for a beautiful contrast and palette of bright greens and dark greens and golden yellows, and sorghum red. What a lovely time of year. Soon though, with the end of all the rains, the grass and trees and other plants will catch up with the crops, all turning yellow and brown, except for a few trees and watered things. I prefer it right now, and have been appreciating the variety of color.

All my peanuts have been harvested, and this year, the rain was pretty poor, so everyone's peanut harvests are bad. Soy is also ready to harvest, so I might be doing some of that in the next week.
