this from Arkansas. The color has moved south.

I was off on my dates

I changed it on the blog in case you feel like you are seeing things. We are leaving the 25th or 26th, kinda leaning toward the 25th I think.
We have a busy day ahead because they are shutting off the water tomorow morning and we will officially be living in the motorhome starting this evening. Not a problem for us,living in the moho. We have had years of pactice.
So it is either goodbye till Spring or see you soon depending on which end of the country we usually see you.

Leaving 25th or 26th

We are about to commence the moving of our stuff to the motorhome. It is a good idea to live in it for a few days ahead of departure to make sure everything is working properly and that you do not forget some key items.

However, the weather has been so pleasant that I had to sneak in a ride this morning along with getting caught up on the blog and dealing with pictures. The trail looks so different this time of year after some of the leaves fall, affording views otherwise covered.
So here are a few trail picks from this morning-Daubendiek Pond- west side of trail just before the Graffiti Bridge

 Small scale baling of hay.

 Fall season on the trail. I had a southerly breeze going south (in my face) to the bridge that made the return trip more pleasant.

So if the blogging is scant the next few days it will be because we are busy loading up and settling into our home away from home.

Going Where?

Sue Durlam Lucht hosted a going away party for us last night. I have not laughed that much in a very long time and the meal was perfect and delicious!

Peculiar trip

We went to see our Missouri kids before heading south for the winter.

This is where Leo prefers to be and Gary gets his exercise this way.

 Nana Susan reads to eager listeners

Leo built a wooden block structure and then wanted to kick it down. He knew he had to put his shoes on first to cut down on the pain. Smart boy for 2 1/2 .

Miss Elise needed to get her "homework" done. She is in kindergarten now you know.
