Title: Beautiful Fall Colors
Post by: jkhanson on October 11, 2020, 04:19:34 pm: This weekend I was fortunate to be able to take in some of the beautiful fall colors.

Yesterday I drove my Mom through the local game preserve and just enjoy all the different colors of leaves on the trees ,bushes, and vines. She is 90, and doing quite well. She still lives on the home place but with this COVID stuff she has been rather locked in and doesn't get out often. We had such a pleasant afternoon.

Today my husband and I hiked the trails on in a nearby state park. It was windy, but warm. We left a bit earlier than we had planned as the weather app showed a thunderstorm was heading our way. We got home before any rain fell. So far, I've just heard a few raindrops hit the window. Not sure if it will pass us by or not.

I hear you there Nancy5! I don't like winter either! Maybe someday my husband and I will be able to spend some/part of the winter somewhere warm. It will be a few years though.....
