Summer's last call

Unbelievable warm weather for October.  Yesterday was a perfect day - sunny, 77 degrees, low humidity - they don't get any better.

Friday night our friends Jack and Jeanie from Houston were here. We took them to Yau's Place in downtown La Grange for dinner - they really liked it.

Yesterday we spent the morning outside doing some yardwork, putting away the patio umbrellas, trimming some bushes - stuff like that.  We were all done by 1:30 so we decided to take a ride.  We went over to the Graue Mill and just walked along Salt Creek.  The fall colors really haven't peaked but it was a nice walk anyway.

We went to Palmer Place for dinner - figured that will be our last time to eat outside there until next Spring (sigh).  Watched the Illinois-Michigan football game last night. Illinois lost; although they seemed like they could have won, two big mistakes cost them the game.

Those two hibiscus bushes on our deck are still hanging in there.

Lovely farewell to summer and a nice autumn greeting. The mill looks like a beautiful place to visit.
