Lovin’ this Fall weather. And the wide spectrum of Fall colors. I dream during the hot summer months of this slice of the annual calendar.
As I write this, we’re finishing up an Amish breakfast in Chouteau, OK, centered in Amish country, before we drive east for a day fishing trip on the upper Illinois River north of Tahlequah. Somewhat in the vicinity of Clear Creek monastery actually. Note to self, check google maps to see the extra driving distance should we decide to drop by on our way home.
The plan is to partake of the hilly scenery and Fall decor as we drive down highway 10 with the river on our left, take one of the public side roads to the river bank, and set up a quick day camp with a canopy tent, chairs, and a cooler full of diet A&W and salami and swiss cheese sandwiches care of my German mother. Then spend the afternoon fishing for perch and bass punctuated by breaks under the canopy to just take it all in.
Oh before we leave Chouteau now, we’re gonna stop by the Amish bakery.
Hope you all likewise enjoy some holy leisure connecting with the Creator by means of His Creation.
Onwards and upwards!
