Autumn Leaves, New Horses, and Birds

Our leaves are mostly gone now but they have been so beautiful.  We took some photos of them to show you.

We are approaching Main Street

Thelma says that a family's wealth is determined by the number of sunsets they have seen.

The mission purchased four new horses in the last few months.  We took photos of the newest team, Chad and Champ the other day.

 These horses are the largest team we have.  They are Belgiums and they weigh app. 2400 pounds each.



Another thing of interest lately have been the migratory birds.  Sometimes the sky is just full of them.  It is amazing to watch and their songs are so noisy.

The birds

The birds kind of form a coil when they reach the river.
