A Cold Morning
It was 26 this morning and the fountain froze up. This is the progress of the defrosting. Looks like it’s going to be nice here today after rain yesterday!
Looking Out Our Front Window
Today we were treated to a fantastic sunset. It only took about nine minutes for it to start losing it’s bold, brilliant, and rich colors. But each of those minutes gave us pleasure watching as the sky changed from one orange to deep purple.
The First Snow
It wasn’t much of a snow but it was our first of the season and a little early. The snow was pretty on the changing leaves.
A Fall Day
Today we were out and about. It was a beautiful day with the sun shining, a light breeze and we had a little time to roam. We went into Mount Muncie Cemetery which was started in 1866. This cemetery is tucked into a hillside along the Lansing/Leavenworth boarder and the Leavenworth National Cemetery can be […]

Orchids
We drove down to Holan’s on Saturday morning, way top early to be up and out for our normal mornings. However, the temp was going to be in the high 90s with heat index around 109, so it was a good thing to get started early. Farmers’ Market, Hobby Lobby and At Home was on […]
Sarracenia
So what is a Sarracenia? It is a plant that is commonly known as trumpet pitchers. We saw these at the Overland Park Farmers’ Market. We were very impressed with the market – there were over 70 stands with all kinds of vendors. There were booths with beverages, lotions, herbs, eggs, fruits, plants, oils, honey, […]
