2.  Mowing and weed removal  from our acreage for the last time until June 2014.  (It has already snowed here)!

4.  Pumpkin scented candles filling the air with an autumn aroma.

5.  Driving 40 miles to Townsend, MT to attend the Fall Fest.

6.  Octoberfest beer, bratwurst, talented bands, blocks of vender booths, a car show, getting to see and chat with old friends and acquaintances.

7.  Watching the elk and hearing them bugle.  Such powerful and mighty animals!

8.  I love the smile that overcomes my face when I see the orange, yellow and red colored leaves.

9.  A surprise visit from a friend from Las Vegas that I haven’t seen in many years!
