And... Winter
Yesterday it was 65F, today, here is what the front of the house looks like at 9am, a couple of hours into what is predicted to be a full day of heavy snowfall

Autumn Colours
This was a spectacular autumn for colours, sadly they never come out quite as well in photos as they appear to the naked eye but they really were pretty special. The reds and oranges (and let's face it only God can really pull of a decent orange) were on the tips of the tree branches only as if someone had brushed them with a fantastic paint.
One of the popular things to do in the Autumn in Minnesota is to go to an apple orchard. We headed to one with our friends Ken and Kim and their kids Anneka and Ian. Aside from the apples there was a corn maze
A very strange huy thing that the kids ran around in. Ken and I were trying to decide how it could be made more interesting - we came up with some great ideas like 'imagine if there were a dozen angry squirrels in there as well, or some monkeys and bees.
Becky not paying much attention to health and safety
Some of the fair was a little bit like craggy island, any excuse to make some money. The best one we found was the animal balloons, not anything that weird in animal balloons but one of the ones that was $2 was a balloon snake! Surely that's just a ballooon?
The other thing that will surprise some people was that we dog-sat for a family and had their black lab for a long weekend. There's a story about how it came about that we volunteered for it - but that's for another posting. Anyway, here's Dan taking the dog for a walk in one of the parks near us.
