Thanksgiving Day walk.


On Monday several of us went for a walk to the back of Bert and Marianne's farm.

Thanksgiving day


Indeed another beautiful October day. Seen above is the family photo taken after dinner, with Nick arriving just in time to add his mug.
Earlier in the day, the weather provided an opportunity to work on the soybean harvest. Above, Jeff is seen taking a short break with Bob, Roxy and myself. You really couldn't buy a better day.

The weather was beautiful this thanksgiving.

Stacey arrives.
