Beautiful Fall

Last weekend, my sweet friend April from Dallas came to visit! Though she was a Ranger fan in the land of Cardinal's on the historic weekend, she managed not to get trampled. On Friday, the day of game 7, we went downtown and toured the arch and witnessed the mayhem surrounding the Cardinal's stadium: the fountains died red, the campers on the lawn, the crowds with signs "I have tickets!"; "I need tickets"...

But on Saturday we took a little day trip to Pere Marquette State Park, near Grafton, IL, along "Three River Drive" where the Mississippi, Missouri and Illinois rivers merge. It was gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Here are some tastes of the beauty of Saint Louis Fall at the height of color!






















































































































































































Thanks my friend for coming to spend the weekend with me! And thanks to her hubby Britt who surprised her and made it happen! (And my hubby too who released me to play for the weekend! :)
