Fall in the countryside

What a gorgeous weekend, the temperatures were perfect, the leaves are changing colors and starting to fall to the ground. The princess and I had a fun girls night out on Friday while Pat and the prince went to the high school football game. "We" won. Saturday the prince and I went to see our college football team play, it was Homecoming. It was a great game, "we" won! Pat volunteers on the sidelines, it is his 6th year. He loves the sport and being a part of the whole group.
Sunday afternoon the princess played soccer and then in the evening we went to my aunt and uncle's house for a bonfire-weiner roast and hayrack ride. It was such a nice night for it. The kids all wanted to tell & hear scary stories, so I helped out! The bonfire felt nice and smelled so good. Larry drove the tractor pulling their new - freshly painted - hayrack. The clouds covered over the moon some, made it perfect for the stories.
The combines are rolling - lots of soybeans are already picked, corn is just around the corner.
The box elder bugs and asian beetles (look like orange ladybugs) are trying to get inside as it gets colder out. I hate the bugs.
Pat & B have been working on his room faithfully. It is shaping up and starting to look so nice. He painted the walls a color like dark tan-khaki. He has sanded the hard wood floors and is testing stain to decide which one he wants. I am hoping it is ready for him to move back into by Halloween.
It is supposed to have a light snow Wed night here, then warming back up.
Have a good night. Nice to read you again Jill!
