Leaf peepin' road trip




Mom and I took advantage of a beautiful fall day to roadtrip to Guttenburg with a return trip through Balltown.  And of course a stop at Breitbach's Country Dining.  They recently re-opened after rebuilding for the second time in two years because of fires. After all the rain it was a great day to be out. We took a nice long walk beside the Mississippi at Guttenburg.  We stopped at the overlook outside Guttenburg and Mom bought some honey and jams from the vendors who are there every fall.  After lunch at Breitbach's Mom stopped in their wine cottage and bought a couple bottles of Stone Cliff wine. We each ordered a slice of pie to take with us so we have a delicious snack for tonight.  Now it is time to get out and start raking those blasted leaves I posted on the last blog. Here are a few photos from our jaunt.

Fall on Graham Court


After three and one half inches of rain in two days the
leaves are pouring off our maple tree.
All with a rake are invited on Saturday, which is
the only day before the rains return.
