Fall is in the air

Sunday, September 28, 2008

On a recent trip from Indy to Penn.  trees are starting to turn colors, looking beautiful.  Sesquhanna river was a beauty to behold.  The most fun was after I got home, me and my grandsons made a scare crow and carved a couple of pumpkins.  Those boys are fun but wear me out.   Love the fall but winter is coming and I am not looking forward to it.  See you all Tue.
