country roads on a rainy fall day...

the colors are finally starting to come...

we are still over 50% green...

and the trees are taking turns dropping their leaves...

this may be out longest fall, ever...

but I did take a break from the chaos here...

and DH got off early...

so we took off while there was still some daylight left...

they say the rain is over, but its still a very dark day again...

it was 46 yesterday when we were riding around...

a bit chilly with the dampness...

sweatshirts and jeans...

sneakers with socks...

I am even wearing gloves out now...

my fingers and hands just ache when they get cold anymore...

so much going on in this world...
so much bad...
its nice to have a peaceful place to live...
grateful that we live here...
in a small town...
where the only gunshots you hear are from the driving range...
and the biggest thing in the paper this week was a dispute over a lawn mower...
;0)
wish I had the details of that one...
but I suppose I will sooner or later...
news gets around fast here...

taking a down day today...
DH and Craig both have tomorrow off...
so we are going to Paris...
and hitting quite a few places...
and doing lunch out...

have a good day...
and may you see all the blessing around you...

  4. Thank you for mentioning "the world". Along with regular posting.

    I have gotten to where I could not go on with the-regular-posing, without mentioning "the elephant(s) in the living room". So I did.

    Whatever the reaction/fallout will be, so be it.

    Thank you for mentioning.....

    Enjoy the rest of October,
    Tessa~
