Fall on the farm

We seldom see such a beautiful fall season.  The corn is golden brown since it did not freeze before it was ripe and because we haven't had a lot of rain to blacken the foliage.  If you look at the picture of the neighborhood in the last post, you'll see what I mean.  Today, as I stood in Granny's Attic, I could look all the way to Forest Grove and beyond and all I saw was a sea of gold.
 
Elizabeth helped me decorate for tonight's SS hayride and bonfire.  All of the plants look nice yet and the grass is so green.  All we added were a few pumpkins and corn stalks to remind people that it is October.



Turned out to be a cool night -- great for a bonfire.  We all had a good time.  Had maybe 30 people.


Changes in the neighborhood

Well, sometime between one and three, Vander Jagts' barn dropped and we didn't get to see it go.  We're curious to know how Doug plans to demolish the silo, but we may just not see that either.  Things have changed a lot in our neighborhood in the last few years.
