I spent Friday night
at my friend Jeannie's
after the Na Da Farm event
and then drove home early
on Saturday morning.
Jeannie lives west
of my home in Illinois
in a gorgeous farmland setting.
I drove home slowly taking it all in,
and smiling a lot.
Many of the leaves are changing.
But others are still holding their green.
Here are some pics I took to share.
Sweet little country church directly across the street from the barn above. |
God is good. :-) |
Thanks for riding along with me!
So pretty Alison. There is nothing like a good ole country drive. I have always lived in the country, and wouldn't want it any other way. I would love an old barn on our property, tho. I keep telling hubby this, and I still don't have one????
ReplyDeleteHe certainly is and these pictures are beautiful! Love the horse ones. Martina
ReplyDeleteAlison,
ReplyDeleteSo lovely. I loved every minute of being on the farm with my grandparents. I was there almost every weekend growing up. Wonderful memories!
Alison,
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful pictures. They remind me why I love living in the country so much!

Just beautiful scenery! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove the paint horse especially
ReplyDelete:-) - Now and then I long for a more convenient life, but giving up country living would be too high a price to pay.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful peaceful pictures.. the horse reminds me of girlfriends horse.. She'll enjoy seeing these.. hugs ~lynne~

ReplyDeleteYou know, every Thurs. I drive up to Lancaster county and ALWAYS wish I had brought my camera. TOMORROW I will! Your pictures are wonderful, I enjoyed tagging along. Such beauty in nature, and the horses are fabulous! XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Alison. I love drives in the country especially this time of year. Our trees are peaking this week and it's so pretty! I'll be posting pics soon. Pamela
ReplyDeleteHi Alison- Your weekend at Nada Farm sounded so wonderful. Another event I wish I could have gone to. Last week I took my mom out for an afternoon drive in the country to see the fall colors and I was just loving every turn and bend in the road, seeing what was coming next. So peaceful. Your photos are beautiful.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful drive! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo's and great that you stopped to "smell the roses" on your way home. Most of us spend far too much time rushing from A to B and don't appreciate the beauty around us. x Sharon
ReplyDeleteI love it how you soak in all the beauty around you Alison...
ReplyDeleteenjoy the rest of your weekend :)
