It has been such a beautiful Autumn here. We've had warm temperatures and sunshine. The color changes have been a little slow, but suddenly they've popped! Bob and I did a little driving on the back roads last week, just wandering and seeing what beauty we could find.
Yes, that's an old outhouse.
God has surrounded us with beauty! The leaves are really starting to fall, so I'm afraid this will soon be gone, but we are enjoying it right now.
"Autumn winds begin to blow,
Colored leaves fall fast and slow,
Whirling, twirling all around,
Till at last they touch the ground."

OMG, those are all so beautiful! You are blessed to be surrounded by all that beauty! I love those one room school houses too. Enjoy your week, Mari!
ReplyDeleteThe tree-lined path is beautiful, and so is the one below the first schoolhouse. Those are my two favorites. It looks like you live in Paradise! So the schools, are they preserved and open to the public?
ReplyDeleteAre the one room school houses being used? We have two in our county that are in the mountains that are used for a handful of school children. I think it’s neat the district still offers it.
ReplyDeleteYour area is an Autumn paradise for sure. Keep taking those Fall photos. They are beautiful
The school houses are owned by the county and are used for school trips and occasional open houses. We've been in both, and they are set up with old desks, chalkboards and other school related items. So interesting to see!
ReplyDeleteMy friend, what absolutely beautiful photos of your autumn splendor! Thank you for sharing. It is always so wonderful when this time. It is fleeting!
ReplyDeleteThe autumn views are so good
ReplyDeleteYeah I think we missed the color here. My mom had some beautiful colors last week when I visited her. Those school houses are so nice to see being restored. They sure dont make them like they use to. Janice

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous place you live!! Love all the trees!

Mari, I'm afraid if I had the view in front of me that you have at work, I probably wouldn't get nearly as much work done because I'd be spending my time viewing the beauty God has given this time of year in the color of those trees.
ReplyDeleteI love your trees - especially the one out of your front door. Your area is beautiful. How far are you from the two one room schoolhouses and out house? You are in a gorgeous area.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like no matter where you look the views are spectacular. So much beauty and the schoolhouses are charming. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHow magical. I love just driving around to see what can be found.
ReplyDeleteThe views from your home and the porch are so lovely. I feel a bit of envy.
Great view at work too.
Thanks for sharing.

It certainly has been a beautiful Fall! Lots of sunshine and beauty all around! Let's hope that in the Spring we can say that it certainly was a mild Winter! LOL!
ReplyDeleteNothing can top God's color pallet!! Breathe in the beauty!! Wow.
ReplyDeleteExquisite! Our white oak is finally turning. It always makes me sad. I love your street. xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh the colors!!!! They are so beautiful this year!! What a lovely ride. Thank you for treating us to the views.
ReplyDeleteHello dear Mari! I'm back from our epic trip and now playing catch up. You know how much I love this post and all the Fall beauty you share!! I feel like I need to soak it all up because my fave season has been flying by while I've been away. That tree in your yard is glorious!!
ReplyDeleteYe, it sure has been a pretty Fall as your pictures tell us.
ReplyDeleteMost of our leaves are gone now.
Looks really beautiful where you live! Very very lovely! We just came home from the mountains, where there was so much beauty, and then back here to Florida where everything is still pretty much just green or drab brown...and very warm still! I enjoyed your post.
ReplyDeleteit is such a beautiful time of year! Our color is gone now the leaves are falling
