One of the brightest colors in our yard when fall comes is a shrub commonly called "burning bush". I have no idea what the horticultural name is, but we do enjoy its beautiful flaming leaves. (Is it related to the burning bush Moses saw? I doubt it.)
Leaves on the crabapple trees in the orchard next to us are in full glory.
Our own maple tree is having it's share of the glory - the wind was blowing at a rapid rate when I took this picture. Leaves are beginning to fall.
After the golds, the reds and greens of the strawberries is always a nice emphasis. Frosts keep coming, and there's a snitch of snow on the mountain tops.
We don't often see the dramatic mammulus clouds, but they certainly get our attention when they do appear in the sky.
We think this building must be the "coach house" - not the main house.
And this is the main house - big enough?
Just a humble little house down in the valley.

Apples looked crisp and the orchard was beautifully kept.
The reason for our trip - Ron's sister, Evie, and husband Dick were visiting, so we wanted to show them some of the sights of Cache Valley. Of course, we did the most important thing first, which was visiting Hobby Lobby (Evie had never been to one!) and Staples in Logan. Then we lunched at the Copper Mill - we think it's the best food in town! Oh, yes, after lunch, we went around the corner to the Bluebird Candy Company, (owned by former NBA coach, Dick Motta and his wife, Janice - incidentally, he started his basketball coaching career in the tiny town of Grace, Idaho, which is about 42 miles north of us in Preston - he said he chose basketball over football for a coaching career because of the sometimes severe fall weather in Idaho.) Back to the Bluebird Candy Company. When you walk in the door, the seductive perfume of chocolate is in the air - and the candy counters are full of tempting hand-dipped chocolates. Wow - hard to just pick a few! Ron chose peanut clusters, with a cherry-chocolate bar for me. You can buy small surprise packages (we got one), and a zillion other wonderful confections. Best not to go too often. Then it was on our way south.
Back to the orchard - just a one-tree shot.
Paradise had many older homes that were wonderfully kept. When you enlarge this picture, you will see some areas that look a little suspicious. That's because I attempted to clone out the huge power pole that stood just to the right of the house, with electric wires going through the sky, and across the roof. Remember, nobody's perfect, and I'm still learning.
