a perfect and lovely autumn afternoon!

This afternoon we drove out to a little town in the Irish Hills to watch Steven play soccer, about an hour to the west, in a piece of the state covered with rolling hills and lots and lots and lots of little lakes. It was the most beautiful drive you could imagine. Despite the heavy winds of the last few days, there were still plenty of gorgeous fall leaves on the trees and bushes. The drive passed by farm fields, all golden and patches of woods in so many beautiful colors. It was just incredible!

And we got back home in time to watch the ninth inning of the Tigers game, and they won the American League Pennant in the bottom of the ninth. It is beyond words to see this team - so bad for so long - win a league championship. It is beyond words.  I had to keep wiping my eyes after that last home run!

What a great day!

And I even managed to get a bunch of laundry done.
