And that bale of cotton, wow!<br /><br />Cotton is truely one of my favorite fabrics, hands down. It makes fabulous sheets, clothing, towels and of course... lightweight white curtains billowing in the breeze!<br /><br />Somehow I always pictured cotton being harvested in the middle of the heat of summer? Not sure where I got that idea.<br /><br />Thanks for giving us a peek into something most of us will never see in person.

Truly an amazing sight. I had my husband stop the car so I could pick a bit of cotton to take home to Maine with me, no easy feat.

I can't even think about the back breaking work to pick that cotton back in the day!

A lot of crafters use the left over bols for making wreaths. Have you ever seen the cotton gin? It will be covered with cotton pieces as well as the landscape.<br /><br />We are enjoying a few days of cooler temps, but I think fall has missed us. So I wonder if this will be another crazy weather year.<br /><br />Beautiful photos and lovely post.Finding Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671978828279304904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-66331139638115729522010-11-01T09:40:16.616-05:002010-11-01T09:40:16.616-05:00Oh I am Maura!

I love the snow and so does my dog. <br />I lived in a cotton area and whatever they sprayed, de-foliage I think, wreaked havoc on my sinuses.<br />Happy Monday!!Missouri Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651682963765975404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-30428642645482340962010-11-01T08:49:26.161-05:002010-11-01T08:49:26.161-05:00Neat post Maura (I've missed you this week).

The older generations just had a different work ethic than today's and I think it was a good thing. I am not ready for that other white stuff either :)<br />Happy Monday, AmyVerde Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551515900687338284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-55561101306379748032010-11-01T06:25:00.840-05:002010-11-01T06:25:00.840-05:00Hi Maura,

The first time I saw a field of cotton I was amazed - never having seen it before.
