We went to the country Saturday. We had a get together at my mother-in-laws family farm. It was a beautiful day. It was a little cool and windy but nothing like the northeastern United States was facing! Places in New York got over 12 inches of snow! I hope my friends in the Northeast survived the weather okay.

I have lived in the south many years but I had to ask (again) what the grapevines were…. scuppernog.

The house sits on about 200 acres of land. I saw what resembled a little snow on Saturday…

but closer inspection revealed it was cotton…

Looks like snow to me…

    Love those cotton fields! When I was a little girl, we would ride in the cotton truck to take the cotton to the gin! Linda

    My mother and I took a trip to Virginia and we saw so many cotton fields...I wanted to stop and pick just a few, but I didn't!
    Beautiful photographs!

    Loved the photos of the farm, grapes and cotton. It is so beautiful. I havent been out into the countryside this fall but it is always so beautiful.
    scuppernog is my very favorite southern grape. I love them much better than the better known muscadine.
    Thanks for the visit. Hugs, Ginger

    Wonderful pics ! My Papa( what Germans call Granddads& Dads) used to grow cotton, He let me pick it for fun once .It was no fun, the sharp hulls will cut your fingers . But it is pretty to look at.

    This is all beautiful. The farmhouse, vines, and cotton. All familiar scenes with the glorious blue October sky.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Cotton is so interesting. The crops look scratchy from afar but super soft up close. So pretty!

    Almost up to 150 Outdoor Wednesdays - Wow!

    It's Southern snow. ;-)

    And I'm always surprised to see vineyards in the South. I know we've had them for quite some time, but it always surprises me.

    XO,
