I love autumn in the Midwest. My son gave us fresh homegrown tomatoes, apples and zucchini squash. I like zucchini best in a bread so I tried a new recipe for pineapple zucchini bread this morning. Tomatoes were used in salads and for BLTs. The cinnamon applesauce is great too.
The corn and soybean fields are turning yellow but we are waiting for the leaves to change. From our living room window, we watched two deer walk the fence line.
The weather is mild with temperatures in the 50's Fahrenheit at night and 70's during the day.
We are in Iowa visiting with kids, grandkids, brothers, sisters and my parents. We will help my parents move into Fair Haven in Pella. It is an independent living facility but the next building is assisted living and another building is a nursing home.
It’s a good time to do fall cleaning since we can store things in my daughter’s basement. It’s fun to go shopping with Karol and redo the RV. I bought the flowers at Michaels and new rugs at Kohls. The bedspread was bought in Shipshewana, Indiana at the Amish flea market a month ago.
We will help mom to celebrate her 90th Birthday on Oct. 3 and go to my nephew's wedding a week later. When we move, it will be to go to Texas.

Iowa is a great state! We visited Decorah for two weeks a couple of years ago, and toured from there. The typical idea of Iowa is something like the typical view of Nebraska if you haven't been there - mile after mile of flat nothing except corn fields and hay fields, with the occasional silo to break up the horizon. Tain't true, is it! Enjoy your visit, and we'll look forward to some more fun!
