Over the hills and through the woods to Grandma's house we go...literally!

 Let me take you on a walk!  I've mentioned before that if I walk through the woods that my mom is close by.  I can't see her house from mine and it takes a few minutes longer if I drive but if I walk, it's just a few short minutes.  Hunter and I walked to her house and I took the camera along.  

This is our "new" driveway.  We had it done a few years ago but we don't really use it yet because we need to do a little more work to it and get several loads of gravel on it.  You can also see that I got the corner of the tractor in the photo.  :) 
 To the left of the that driveway is one area where the horses like to roam.  The horse were not in sight on the way to mom's. 
Going on up the driveway.  It's hard to really tell but it is a little steep. 
 Another view of the woods where the horses like to roam.  You can tell that they stay in this area a lot because all of the underbrush and leaves are gone. 
 Getting close to the top...
 When you get almost to the top, you cut down the hill to the left.  Hunter also rides this trail with the 4 wheeler to visit with mom. 
 Here he is in front of me...
 The beautiful woods...
 A lot of the leaves have already fallen...
 We are getting closer...if you look close you can see the roof of mom's house and the pool...
 The beautiful sky...
 Getting closer...
 The field...mom enjoys walking the field, Hunter rides the 4 wheeler down there a lot and not to mention the horses love it as well.  You can't see all of the field but there is also a pond and apple trees down there. 
 We spent some time with mom and headed back home....back up  the hill on the trail...
 Still heading home...
 The woods are so peaceful...
 The sun was shining on this nice Fall day...
 We start back down the driveway, you can see the brown roof which is my house and the other building is an outbuilding. 
 I hope you enjoyed our little walk through the woods.  :)  I love living out in the country.  

This is an old photo but I have been prepping more Orange Peels to work on during the evenings.  I love these little things. 
 Trying to get things ready for cold weather.  Shew...the forecast is saying Sunday morning that it could be down in the 20's!!!!  :(  Yuck!

Go check out my other blog...Kristie's Pantry to see what we have been cooking and eating!!!!

Thanks for taking us along. ;-) In the 20s? It's only going to get into the 30s here and we're a little north of you all. I don't know about you, but I'm NOT ready for cold weather!!

Oh, I love walking in the woods! The kids said it was chilly this morning at 53 degrees. Of course... they were in shorts and short sleeve shirts with a sweater to head to school. It will be in the mid 80's by the time I pick them up at 2! I do love these cooler mornings

Kristie so enjoyed your photos of the walk to your mom's - how enjoyable that would be, thanks for sharing. Hope you don't get down into the 20's already! I did hear though that northern Arkansas could possibly get a freeze on Saturday night - I'm in the middle of the state and our low is only to be around 45 I guess - home tomorrow - so looking forward to the cool front I am bringing with me.
