it rained


Last weekend, we went on a few adventures.  On Saturday, we went to a festival in a nearby town.  It was a gorgeous day, bright, cool, and breezy.  The colors of the trees were just amazing.  The littles smiled a lot, had fun, and I of course forgot my camera.  Oh, Ruthie.  We had fun anyway.  On Sunday, Brian decided we'd go to a nearby park to capture some of the fall colors.  On the way there, it started raining.  Pretty hard.  So the park was out.  But a drive in the country was in!  So we went exploring, and found more rainy countryside.  That's what you get in this neck of the woods.  A lot of countryside, and very little civilization.  Oh, and a snapping turtle in the middle of the road.

  3. It looks beautiful, actually not unlike New England (and I always thought we had the market cornered on fall colors!). Cool turtle too, I hope he made it to his destination safely.

  6. That turtle looks kinda mean. But the drive looks beautiful! I love most things about Dallas but our lack of fall colors is not one of them. Oh, to be able to see this out my back door! I hope this weekend is decidedly less rainy.

  8. Your photos of fall in the Ozarks do something good for my heart! I fell in love with Missouri after going back to Brett's house to work on a weekend school project with a few others. We drove about four hours to Crocker from Shawnee, OK and the leaves were just turning and I was hooked. We never got that kind of color or crisp air in Fresno and I felt like I was in a movie! As beautiful as fall is in Colorado, it's still not quite the Ozarks! The aspen and poplar are my new favorites but I miss all of that oak.

    Did you get this kind of fall in Chicago?
