I'm still enjoying autumn

It's beautiful here, even if a bit on the cold side. When driving "to town" and "from town" today, I thoroughly enjoyed the scenery. There are large wheels of hay on a number of farms as I passed by this morning. The only time I see rectangular hay "bails" anymore is for decorative purposes. There remains miles and miles of corn drying in the fields. There is a small farm which I pass every day that has goats in the pasture. My son tells me I am the only person he knows who finds goats charming. Probably because I don't have to get up early to feed them.

While driving this afternoon, I was listening to the Brandenburg concerto on the University's FM channel. I had to smile, as beautiful as Bach may be, I think a good dulcimer concert would have been more appropriate. However, one cannot go wrong with Bach anywhere...anytime.

Exactly at 5:00, I was on campus to drop my son off at work for his part-time job. How different it was from the scenic views I had just passed. There are somewhere between 35,000 and 40,000 students on "our" campus, not counting all the professors and staff. It did seem every one of them was driving or walking around me as I attempted to get my son to work on time. He had spent the morning at an advanced debate class and the afternoon teaching himself how to draw (using an architecture book from the library). After work, he and Dad will go over the expected math questions for his class tomorrow while I enjoy a great book.

I thought I'd share some of the photos I took at the Feast of the Hunter's Moon, having just picked up processed film and having a CD made again for the computer. I have another roll of film from the Feast to process at a later date.

The Feast of the Hunter's Moon is held next to the Wabash River. I stopped to enjoy the beautiful scenery before heading back to the more crowded areas.

Now here is an interesting "Gent". He didn't smile as I took his picture but he didn't stop me, either.

I took this couple's picture as I was getting ready to leave for the day. I told them I wanted to put it on my blog and they were very happy to comply.

Here are the charming dulcimer ladies. When I went back later to listen to them for awhile, an older gentleman had joined the group. They are amazing, I loved listening to their music.
Here's the delightful gentleman. I chatted with him after taking the picture above (and before he joined the group).

These are just a few of dozens (hundreds?) of interesting exhibitor and thousands of people enjoying the sights and smells which took us back to the eighteenth century. It was a good place to visit for a day.
