Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween!

 

 

From here to there.

Have a fun day.

 

Just hoping here that

Everyone

Is safe and snug and dry.

God Bless!

Crunch

Funny how fast we go from peak color to naked tree.

If your life is busy it happens in a few seconds.

 

We had a majestic display of color this year but...

I kind of like this stage too.

 

 

This is the Fox River near Silver Lake Wisconsin

 

This river feeds into Silver Lake and then southward to

The Chain of Lakes In Illinois

There is a nice trail around the lake and next to the river.

 

I love the sound and smell of this picture

The Truth

Honest Mom, really, honest...

 

 

I didn't mean to do it!



Sunset

I was really happy to capture the perfect sunset in my little hamlet.

 

 

 

Its a simple community, but a nice place to live.
We have a few little lakes and nice open areas with walking trails.
It's good for me!

This weekend is going to be cold!! In the 40's during the day and uh oh... at night.

 



The Barn

 

 

Not all the barns in the neighborhood are falling down.

 

 

 

I love these old country roads.

Keep in mind, I am 40 miles from a huge city.

Less that an hour from Chicago.

This is such a treat.

I love living up here.

I will never return to urban life!



A Sunday Drive

Here are a few products of my Sunday drive.

It was a beautiful day in the high 60's.

Just north of me and a stones throw south of the Wisconsin border is Route 173.

An east/west road that is a delight this time of year.

There are apples to pick.

Cider

Pumpkins

One farm after another. Jams and Jellies, Pies and Cookies.

Then on the way home.

I stopped near the river.

And then to visit an open area in my little subdivision.

Half moon

Turn around the other way and almost sunset.

Settling in now with a plate of spaghetti and meat balls.

Tuning up to watch Revenge.



Bye Bye Rain

It's been a pretty wet week.

Not that we didn't need it.

The rivers and lakes are down significantly.

 

But the weekend will be SUNNY!

 

 

 

After a long rainy day.

Finally the blue popped through!
