Some Minnesota Fall Foliage

 I can't believe how fast Autumn is going...it seems like just yesterday I was anxiuosly waiting some Fall Colors and now they are almost gone! Makes me so sad to think of what lies ahead. Old Man Winter will be soon upon us. Can you say Yuck, Icky Poo? I can.....and do.

I am on Vacation this week which has been a *Perfect* week to take so far. We hit 89 degrees on Saturday (With NO Humidity, Gotta love that) and Low to mid 70's for the last 2 weeks.

Yesterday I took a day trip with my Dad and his GF Joyce down to Southern Minnesota to take in the colors of Fall. Unfortunately, most of the colors have faded but I did manage to get a few shots.

These were taken at the Hill Top of a restaurant we ate lunch at called the

Branding Iron in Preston, Minnesota.

Below is my Dad and Joyce.

I stopped by my old house last week and shot a few Pics of
my Maples in the back yard

I miss my House so much but certainly not the Raking. In the front I had HUGE ass Ash trees that always seemed to take a dump all at once. I counted 27 Bags of leaves by the time I finished up last year. And that didn't even count the Maples.

This  is my view from my Patio Door looking out at my new home~

We drove 300 miles yesterday going through tons of quaint little towns, and even stopped at an Amish Home to look over their Produce, Jams, Canned Pickles and Peaches they had for sale. I bought some gorgeous Tomatoes and some refrigerator pickles to take home with me.

I have always been intrigued by the Amish Lifestyle and was thrilled to see many roadside Horse and Buggies trotting along. There usually are some roadside stands where women sell their Home made pies, etc but not yesterday :-(

It was actually a pretty warm day, and you know what that means! Dairy Queen!

Yes, I had may Favorite Plain Ol Vanilla Cone. I know I'm boring but honestly they are so yummy! Especially that last bite of cone with Ice Cream inside. Delish!

So tomorrow my Sister in law Diane and I are taking a trip South once again to go to a Huge Craft Fair in Kenyon Minnesota with over 100 vendors. It's a really cool place to find just the right gift for anyone or for yourself which is what I end up doing most times! LOL

I am heading up a Snowman Swap with my Girls from GLU once again. I've already started shopping but just know I'll find something there to tuck inside the pkg! So many cute ideas and fun things await us.......Is it Thursday yet?

Well I have to scoot for now, but I'll be back with more pic's tomorrow.

Hope you are having a wonderful day wherever you are!

Ta Ta for now......
