Autumn Splendor

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.






A one room school house











Yes, that's an old outhouse.




Another old one room schoolhouse








Here's my view at work





Here's our street.  Our driveway is on the left, just ahead of the trees that are meeting over the road.  





This is the view from our porch




Our side yard





And our front yard.  

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!

The 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?

Are 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.
Your 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!
