I still have symptoms of the nasty bug and woke yesterday unable to breathe out of my nose. Wasn’t feeling all the greatest so I went back for a mid morning nap. I woke just before noon feeling in the mood for a drive so that’s just what I did.

I made a little lunch for myself before my trip, cleaned up and away I went early afternoon. I enjoyed the beautiful blue skies and the cool fresh air and the sights I saw almost melted my sickness away.

Here are some pictures taken from my afternoon drive.

Couldn’t Resist This Barn

I pulled my truck over and got out to enjoy both the pond and the babbling brook. What great alone time I spent at both of these places. I love the reflection of the bench in the pond and the views were amazing from my point of view.

I also captured this pond but the sun was not in the right spot for me to get a clear picture.

The leaves continue to fall fabricating a beautiful colorful quilt above the earth.

I believe these are going to be the last of the fall pictures this year.

Hubby called on his way home from work last night saying that Donnell and Michelle just called to see if we would like to join them for dinner. Hubby and I both were thrilled and me especially as I was just telling Hubby over the weekend how I would like to go there next weekend. While we were on our way over to the restaurant, Donnell called to say that the restaurant was closed on Monday evenings. So we met at TGIF instead and enjoyed a great meal and conversation with our buddies. Now we get to have another dinner date with them this weekend because we’re dying to go back to the Asian restaurant.
