Beautiful fall evening along the river....

All of these photo's were taken within 3

miles of our home, along the river.

Fall is so beautiful in the country.

I drive 40 miles into the city to teach

and my students think I'm crazy

for the long commute. I think I'd be crazy not to!!!

This is where my road meets the

river about 500 ft from my house.

There's the water!

Beautiful!


This was taken from the river bridge
I cross to take in to town.
Love the reflction of the trees!

Looking to the west from the same bridge.

This is not a B & W photo but the light

made it look that way.

A field almost ready to harvest, and a new

neighbor's home back along the woods.
This farm belongs to a family who has been friend's

of Hubby's family for years. When I cross the

bridge and look to my right, this is what I see.

This is the homestead and both

of the parents are both gone now.

Three of the 5 children built their

homes right next door. :)

This is their corner and when you

turn left just a mile down

is our corner where 4 of our

family members, including

us have homes. :)

again....

This is their field across from the house

that goes down to the river.

I love the bean and corn fields in the fall!

Now we are headed east back

towards my house!

This barn belongs to my niece,

even though she is from my side

of the family, we were thrilled

when she was able to

buy a home on our corner.

This is the home her husband and her

are raising the 3 little ones under 3.

It's so great to grow up in the country!

Right next door is Tom's nephew

and his wife.

He didn't move far at all when he got married.

Right next door, across the bean field is

his Mom and Dad's home.

Then we are just around the corner.

But I'm gonna keep on driving east

to show you some of my

favorite spots along the river,

just past my road.

This is a beautiful home of a neighbor,

actually the house is nestled back in the trees.

This is a small roadside park right across the road.

Alot of people come here to fish.

A little farther down the road....

You come to 2 of my favorite homes.

Lots of windmills along here too.

I love their barn and their home.

I only got a shot of the barn because

they were out mowing and I didn't

want to look like a stalker! ;)

Across the road is his

father's country home.

The father was a Doctor

in the big city!

And out here it's a trend to be

neighbor's with most of your family.

This is the Levi King farm.

Even though no one I know,

know's Levi King,

I assume he built this home

and barn long ago.

I love this home!!!

The man who lived here used to

be one of my clients in the shop.

He passed away almost 3 years ago

and his wife is now selling .

So, any one want to be my neighbor?

I love their little Gazebo.

This is the small country road that runs

parallel to the river road along their farm.

Well, I was starting to lose my daylight,

so I drove back to the bridge to get

a sleepy shot of the river.

This is a reluctant neighbor

who has yet to store the boat for cooler weather.

Good night river....

see you in the morning!

Blessings~
