Enjoying a Fall Harvest of Food, Talent and Generosity--potluck dinner at Camp Nauvoo, displays of talent and donations to the local food bank in Nauvoo

Our Temple Matron knitted 5 of these sets for her children--look closely Laura--you could do it! Figures are about 8 "high

Using the local corn for table decorations and $3 Wal Mart tablecloths--125 served!

Fall Comes to Nauvoo

Beautiful scene on my way to swim at 6:30 am--steam rising from the river

It was like a cloud was hovering over the Mississippi--eerie.

Yes, the temperature is dropping rapidly--so far I love it. Sweater weather and no heat and humdity.

P Day Drive

John never tires of driving through Iowa or Illinois--harvest time for the corn. Love the clouds!

P-Day Trip to Quincy

One of many lovely homes in the Historic East End of Quincy, Illinois

Remember the corn when it was at it's prime?

This is how it looks now--ready to be harvested for ethynol, corn syrup and animal feed

This was the biggest silo I've seen--they fill these with the dry corn and transport it by truck or rail.
