Fall in Virginia

Well, Melissa was hoping for some funny stuff, but was willing - thank God! - to accept pictures of fall in Virginia for the Virginia Blog Carnival. That's a very good thing, because even though I love jokes, I couldn't tell them or write a funny story to save my life!

So, here are some pictures I took this weekend. I hope you enjoy (and envy, perhaps? LOL) all the beauty that surrounds me in Southside Virginia:

Cattle grazing peacefully in the afternoon sun:

A winding road, and a winding stream...

The beauty and color of a fallen leaf:

Railroads cris-crossing my county:

The manicured front lawn of Hargrave Military Academy:

Old trees lining the streets of Chatham, VA:

Coming home to deer in my front lawn... And they pose!

I pray you all have a wonderful and safe Halloween!

And remember, no matter our different political positions, we all love America, and are blessed and proud to be citizens of this incredible, wonderful country!
