Fall is arriving with a wet, dreary day.  Although fall actually began the 21st, it was hot and humid that day, today is more like we are used to this time of year.  Not cold, just not summer.

The trees will probably be turning in the next few days, maybe when my husband gets home we can go out to Geode and walk through the woods, look at the beauty of fall and smell the fresh crisp air.  That would be lovely, maybe we will take a picnic lunch and eat at the lake.  If the day is warm it would be so nice to spend the day with good food, maybe some wine and peace and quiet.  That sounds so good to me.

If the trees turn the beautiful colors they sometimes do the drive from Missouri into Iowa on 27 will be outstanding.  Or from Iowa to Missouri for those that are headed south for the winter.  The rolling hills that are covered with trees should be beautiful. 

I took a couple of pictures of the corn before picking on those hills, with the farm house in the background.  It is a pretty time of year even though we know it will soon be covered with snow and cold.  It's all part of living in Iowa.
