Hard Maple in the front yard...Saturday was a beautiful day--sunny and warm, but not too warm. Our fall colors are not going to be dramatic, but let's face it..even a so-so color display is still pretty fantastic, if you just look around. Many of the leaves have already been stripped from the trees, and the oaks have went straight to rusty brown. But here and there...splashes of vivid color.

Most of Saturday I spent working around the place; cleaning up the gardens, putting away flotsam and jetsam that accumulate during the summer, and some housework. I also took pictures and played with the kittens. I had hoped to mow the front, but the battery didn't take the charge, so it's back on the charger for a longer period of time.
I also made a hurried trip down to Leadmine to shop at the Amish/Mennonite stores. The produce stand was shut down for the year which was a disappointment. I only wanted a few apples, but I also wanted the best fresh bread in the world. The lady that runs the stand says her mom bakes the bread and it is just so good. Oh well.... I went over to the bakery instead and got a couple of their loaves and some apple bread.
Then I went to the bulk store/scratch and dent (yes I know an odd combination, but it works..it was very busy there). I took the back roads back, and it was just so pretty.
All in all it was a nice day. The sunshine felt so good, and it's amazing how it helps with my attitude!
Rush Hour?

Beautiful leaves! And I love seeing the buggies.
I miss being close to Leadmine and Pumpkin Center...
Neat!
Do you remember one winter day, a buggy, a man, his child and snowflakes?
Nice fall pictures and the Amish in their buggies reminds me of my husbands home area in Ohio.
Thanks for sharing your trip; it was lovely. I could handle traveling by buggy, although I don't know how Russell would feel about it.... :-)
