Fall with the Lathrops

I snapped some pictures of all the leaves that fall in November in our neighborhood.  One person a couple houses from ours has a big tree that sheds all these leaves.  Luckily not many of them fall in our yard.  We have plenty in our own backyard.

 Mike decorated our porch with corn stalks from our garden.

I took a trip up to Deer Park to check out Julie's Christmas store at her house.  Her house is right next to Kristin and Justin's house.  Julie is a grandma to Layne and Lucy too.  First stop was to see Layne, Lucy and Justin with their burn piles. I was greeted with a golf cart speeding to me with these two girls in it. Nothing feels better!

 Next stop Julie's shop.

 Lucy runs everywhere she goes.

 A country girl!

I did purchase a few things.  OK, several things.  You can always use some more Christmas decorations.  Mike doesn't agree but he never complains.

 There was a beautiful sunset right in our own backyard on the way home.  Life is good.
