Fall Season

Glasgow Snail...Sarah,Tyler and I saw this when we went on a short walk..

Super-neat Fall Decorations!

We saw this on a back road way home from St. Louis.....interesting as it's built into a hill right in front of a house....would like to know the story about it...

Neat hardware thing on the door..

Firebush leaves/berries in our front yard..

The small Pin Oak on the West side of our house..

Poke berry in the Autumn sun...

Doesn't really show the brilliant scarlet leaves the cover the top third of this tree...This is a Pin Oak on the West side of our driveway...the picture sure doesn't do it justice..

Another pretty day here today....I should have gotten outside and taken some pictures...will plan on that the next few days!

Wildflower Wednesday

This is growing behind the Old Jail Museum.looks like it is some sort of vine....have no idea what the name of it is..

I took this picture about a month ago..over in the Mae yard in a shady area where the kids' sand pile was at one time....I kind of looks  like White Snakeroot, but I don't think it's tall enough to be that..anyway, a couple pretty fall flowers!

Man's Dinner

When our company was here earlier this month, us girls all went out to lunch one day and Richard cooked dinner for the men here at the house.....steak, baked potatoes and garden corn....looks like a man's dinner, doesn't it?

Monday Randoms

Beautiful day here in the Ozarks today! Here is an old metal lawn chair seemingly holding up the roof on the second floor of a collapsing barn...

Sock Monkey at a cell phone lot at Lambert Airport in St. Louis....He was impressed by the big city!

When Mom was here we went to see a friend at a home in Rolla...on our way back we took the "old highway" and stopped at the old scenic lookout....we saw this marker giving the elevation..

And this sign showing the direction of North....It was printed in the concrete, but doesn't show up in this picture...It was a beautiful day and such a pretty drive

I kept sweet Emily Saturday night while everyone else went to the Super Farmer event..She was such fun! She drank a cup of milk at 9:00 and conked out!

The picture just doesn't do this tree justice.....I took it this morning. The Pin Oak between us and the neighbor...Started at the top turning the most brilliant scarlet color...the color is working it's way down the tree...just beautiful!

Maries Hollow

Sarah, Tyler and I went to Maries Hollow this morning...it is always interesting to look around at all the neat things they have! I bought this seasonal wreath..I sure like all the seasonal colors in it! 

Florida Visitor

We sure had a nice visit with my Mom, who was here for over a week from Florida. I hope she enjoyed her visit...She got to see her all her kids, in laws, grandkids(except one grand daughter), great grandkids, her sister and brother-in-law from  Nebraska, a dear friend and her husband from Glasgow, a friend in a nursing home and a host of other good friends!  The time always goes so fast! We took her back to the airport in St. Louis yesterday and then took the scenic way home along the Missouri River. The trees, while not at their peak yet, were really pretty....We had lunch at this Mexican place....it was good...their menu was almost identical to the Mexican places in Jefferson City.

We stopped at Hermann and got some items....because everyone knows I don't have enough stuff! Ha! Three old bottles and a cast iron finial off of an old fence..

My Mom brought these for me....I really like them...so colorful! And they truly did come all the way from Switzerland!  Her neighbor had been to Europe and brought these back..

I didn't take many pictures during the visit, but thankfully our daughter did.....sure was a good time to remember,  even if it was rainy a lot of the time!
