Day Together in the Countryside

Saturday ~ after getting some chores done

(Alden outside and Dorian inside)........

We left the neighborhood......

on a pretty warm October day....... and headed to see the trees changing in the countryside. What a beautiful day it was!!!!!!! Alden and I.....together..... enjoying the gorgeous weather and the beauty of the mountains nearby. Do you see the heart rock Alden found? How special! {click on the collage and it will be BIGGER so you can REALLY see all the pictures) We took a little side trip.... tractors sighted! :) :)

horses along the way

a tad bit of color....not too much yet.

simply beautiful sights to behold

the farther we got out of town.....

the peace set in.

We found ourselves nearing Harpers Ferry.......

a favorite place of ours

See the green car ~

Alden had one like this (not quite so BRIGHT green, but green)

when we met each other and started to date.

What fun to see it!!!!!!!

We stopped for gas......and......

there was a swarm of "stink bugs".

Ewwwwwwww......

and ewwwwww again.

They were EVERYWHERE.....

flying around, on the cars, on the pumps.....ewwwwww.

We neared the river(s)

So wonderful!

the charm of the city

yay, some Fall color!

The Potomac and Shenandaoah Rivers coming together

We headed on down to the river.....

to find our spot.....

to enjoy the sound of the river and visit.

Rafts went RIGHT by where we were sitting on this rock. :)

So fun!

We saw the most beautiful heron

Can't you just hear the water? Such a calming sound.

We caught up......

and dreamed.....

and rested.

We stayed til the sun set.......

hmmmmm ~ what a sight.

Headed back to the car......

stopping along the way to enjoy the river just a bit more.

A most wonderful day together ~

in God's beautiful creation.

And......it is only Sunday of a long weekend!!!!!!!!!

What a nice feeling that is!
