A ride

Yesterday, we went over to catch a ride with Sandy to the Soo. It is always an all day affair. We don't go often and it is fun to go to the stores, look for bargains and get done as much as we can in that trip. We want to go to St. Ignace and Mackinac City to scout out any buys there. It will be our turn to drive and it will be another fun day. The leaves are past peak but it is still very pretty. We went down Curly Louis Hwy. on the way back and it was like going down a golden corrider with breaks of dark green, deep reds, pale pinks and yellows. The steep hills were glowing and made you wish you could remember the beauty all around you. It is something you try to discribe but always fall short. Today is a day to work outside and get some things done before the real cold sets in. Dennis is working on getting the machines ready for winter storage and the snowblower ready for the long winters work. I have raking and planting my herbs out of their pots and into the ground so hopefully they will grow next year. I'm going to try to bring some in and I hope they will grow in the house. It is a dreary day so we are moving slow. A fire in the stove is a must to keep the dampness from stealing into the bones and joints. Have a good day!
