After last week's wet trip to DC, we have enjoyed spectacular fall weather here at home. Last Sunday we visited St. John's UCC at Midway, Ill., where our friend Mike was installed as interim pastor. It's a sizable congregation in a small, rural community.
At home the fall color watch continues. This is not our backyard maple; it's the one behind us a few doors north. It has blazed for almost a week now.
Meanwhile, our maple remains mostly green. I stood beneath it this week and shot this photo straight up, where a few orange leaves are starting to appear at the very top. I hope it completely turns soon because we are supposed to have a hard freeze one night next week.
Our local garden center, Thies Farm, grows the most magnificent mums. We bought only one but this bronze beauty greets everyone who comes up the driveway.
